Question

What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.

please show work

Answer 1

Frequency, f = 15 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

Speed of a wave,
`v=f\lambda`, f = frequency of ocean wave

`f=(v)/(\lambda)\\\\f=(45)/(3)\\\\f=15\ Hz`

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.
