    In one period of a wave, one full cycle (peak through valley and back to peak) passes by. That means that the wave has moved by one wavelength. Wavelength is related to period by the expression:

    speed = wavelength / period

    If we are given the speed, then we can easily calculate the period at the wavelength of 20 m.

    Period = 20 / speed
