For any general wave in sinusoidal form, y=A sin(kx−ωt+)
The meaning of the symbols are as follows : A = Amplitude k=2π/λ = wave number, where λ is wavelength ω=2πf = angular frequency, where f=1/T is frequency, and T is time period = phase angle shift.
Equating this with your question, we directly get amplitude A as 3cm.
2.2 is 2πf. So frequency f = 2.2/2π = 0.35
0.6 is 2π/ λ. So wavelength λ = 2π/ 0.6 = 10.47
Now velocity = λ.f = 10.47 x 0.35 = 3.66
