Question

Some giant ocean waves have a wavelength of 25 m and a frequency of

0.26 Hz. What is the wavespeed of such a wave? *

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency equation for waves is

`f=(v)/(\lambda)` where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

`.26=(v)/(25)` so

v = .26(25) and

v = 6.5 meters/second
