Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength is distance between consecutive wave crests or consecutive troughs

in this situation when one boat is at crest the other is in the trough...

the wavelength will be twice this distance between the boats

WL = 2 * 18 = 36 meters

amplitude is (distance from bottom to top) divided by two

ampl = 2.6/2 = 1.3 m (this is the same as the distance from the midline of the wave to the top of the wave)

5 cycles in 10 seconds ...the frequency is in Hz ...which is cycles per second , so the frequency = 5 cycles/ 10 seconds = .5 Hz

Period is = 1/f = 1/.5 Hz = 2 seconds per cycle
