Answer:

f = 0.65 hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance between adjacent crests, wavelength = 2.4 m

6 crests are observed to move past a given point along the medium in 9.1 seconds.

We need to find the frequency of these waves.

We know that,

Frequency = no. of waves per second.


f=(6)/(9.1)\ Hz\\\\=0.65\ Hz

So, the frequency of these waves is equal to 0.65 Hz.
