Water waves are observed as they pass a fixed point at a rate of 30 crests per minute. A particular wave crest takes 2s to travel between two fixed points 6m apart.
Determine for the wave:
i) The frequency
ii) The wavelength

Answers


John
i) Frequency = $\frac{30}{60}$ = 0.5 Hz

ii) Speed = $\frac{6}{2}$ = 3 m/s, wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$ = $\frac{3}{0.5}$ = 6m
