Question

Find the velocity of a water wave in meters per second with frequency

0.04 Hertz and wavelength 4.1 meters.
what's the answer?​

Answer 1

Velocity, v = 0.164 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Frequency of wave, f = 0.04 Hz

Wavelength,
`\lambda=4.1\ m`

It is required to find the velocity of a water wave. The speed of any wave is given in terms of wavelength and frequency. Its formula is :

`v=f\lambda\\\\v=0.04* 4.1\\\\v=0.164\ m/s`

So, the velocity of a water wave is 0.164 m/s.
