Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying,
v = λf................ Equation 1
Where v = velocity/ speed of the wave, λ = wave length of the wave, f = number of waves the person surf in one seconds.
make f the subject of the equation
f = v/λ............ Equation 2
From the question,
Given: v = 1.6 m/s, λ = 24 m
Substitute these values into equation 2
f = 1.6/24
f = 0.0667 wave/seconds.
If,
in one seconds, the person surf a total wave crest of 0.0667
Therefore,
in one hours, he will surf a total wave crest of (0.0667×60×60) = 240 waves crest
He rides for every 30th wave crest,
Hence,
number of wave crest the person surf in one hour = 240/30 = 8
