Question

What is the wavelength of the waves you create in a swimming pool if you splash your hand at a rate of 2.00 Hz and the waves propagate at 0.800 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

The wavelength of the waves created in the swimming pool is 0.4 m

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, f = 2 Hz

velocity of the wave, v = 0.8 m/s

The wavelength of the wave is given by;

λ = v / f

where;

λ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

v is the wavelength

λ = 0.8 / 2

λ = 0.4 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the waves created in the swimming pool is 0.4 m
