Question

What is the wave speed of a wave traveling an average distance of 6 meters in one second?

A. less that 0.2 m/s
B. 1 m/s
C. 3 m/s
D. 6 m/s
E. more than 6 m/s

Answer 1

The wave speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken, which in this case is 6 meters divided by 1 second, resulting in a wave speed of 6 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wave speed of a wave traveling an average distance of 6 meters in one second is calculated by simply dividing the distance traveled by the time it took. In this case, wave speed = distance / time = 6 meters / 1 second, which equals 6 m/s. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 6 m/s.
