Answer:
<em>Wavelength = 16 m</em>
<em>Frequency = 0.1 Hz</em>
<em>Period = 10 s^-1</em>
<em>speed of the wave = 1.6 m/s</em>
Explanation:
The crests of the wave is 16.00 m apart
Also, 6 crests pass per minute
The wavelength of this wave is the distance between consecutive corresponding troughs or crests. This means that the <em>wavelength λ is 16 m</em>
Frequency is defined as a number of cycles per seconds.
A minute has 60 sec, therefore, the frequency of this wave is
==> f = 6/60 = <em>0.1 Hz</em>
Period is the inverse of the frequency, therefore period of the wave is
==> T = 1/0.1 = <em>10 s^-1</em>
Speed of the wave is the frequency times the wavelength
v = λf = 16 x 0.1 = <em>1.6 m/s</em>
