Question

a fisherman sees 7 wave crests go by in 10 s. the crests are 2.43 m apart. find the frequency of the wave.(unit = Hz)

Answer 1

To find the frequency of the wave, we need to determine the number of wave crests passing a given point per second.

Given:

Number of wave crests = 7

Time taken = 10 s

Distance between wave crests = 2.43 m

We can calculate the frequency using the formula:

Frequency (f) = Number of wave crests / Time taken

f = 7 / 10

f = 0.7 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 0.7 Hz.g
