Question

Ocean waves with a wavelength of 12.9 m are

coming in at a rate of 0.23 Hz.
What is their speed?
Answer in units of m/s.

Answer 1

Speed, v = 2.96 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Wavelength of ocean wave is 12.9 m

Frequency of wave is 0.23 Hz

It is required to find the speed of ocean wave. The speed of any wave in term of wavelength and frequency is equal to their product. So,

`v=f\lambda\\\\v=0.23* 12.9\\\\v=2.96\ m/s`

So, the speed of wave is 2.96 m/s
