wave crests in the next 15 seconds. What is the frequency of these waves?
A. 10 Hz
B. 15 HZ
C. 0.667 Hz
D. 1.5 Hz

Answer 1

Frequency of the waves = 0.667 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of waves = 10

Time taken = 15 seconds

Find:

Frequency of the waves.

Computation:

⇒ Frequency of the waves = Number of waves / Time taken

⇒ Frequency of the waves = 10 / 15

⇒ Frequency of the waves = 0.667 Hz
