The distance in miles between each wave and the next is 1.14 miles. The correct option is c. 1.14 miles
<h3>Calculating Wavelength </h3>
From the question, we are to determine the distance in miles between each wave and the next. That is, we should determine the wavelength.
From the formula,
v = fλ
Where v is the velocity
f is the frequency
and λ is the wavelength
We can write that
λ = v/f
From the given information,
v = 600ft/min
Now, we will determine the frequency, f
f = 1/T
Where T is the period
From the given information,
T = 10 minutes
Thus,
f = 1/10 = 0.1 min⁻¹
Now, we can determine the wavelength
λ = v/f
λ = 600/0.1
λ = 6000 ft
Now, convert 6000 ft to miles
NOTE: 5280 ft = 1 mile
∴ 6000 ft = 6000/5280 miles
6000 ft = 1.14 miles
Hence, the distance in miles between each wave and the next is 1.14 miles. The correct option is c. 1.14 miles
