Question

A Boulder drops in the water and creates a wave with a period of 2s/cycle and a wavelength of .75 m/cycle. How fast is the wave moving ?

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 0.375 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of a wave is 0.75 m/cycle

The period of a wave is 2s/cycle

We need to find the speed of the wave. We know that,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Substitute all the values,

$v=\dfrac{0.75}{2}\\\\v=0.375\ m/s$

So, the speed of the wave is equal to 0.375 m/s.
