Question

A Boulder drops in the water and creates a wave with a period of 2s/cycle and a wavelength of .75 m/cycle. How fast is the wave moving ?

Answer 1

v = 0.375 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of a wave is 0.75 m/cycle

The period of a wave is 2s/cycle

We need to find the speed of the wave. We know that,

`v=(d)/(t)`

Substitute all the values,

`v=(0.75)/(2)\\\\v=0.375\ m/s`

So, the speed of the wave is equal to 0.375 m/s.
