The velocity of an ocean wave is 5m/s. The distance between crests is 3m. What is the frequency of the wave
I need the Formula,Known,Substitute & Solve Answer with Units

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.67m

5m/s

Explanation:

Wavelength of the wave = 3m

Speed of the wave  = 5m/s

The distance between crest and the adjacent trough of water waves is known as the wavelength of a wave.

 To find the frequency ;

        V = f∧

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

  Insert the parameters and find the frequency;

        f  = V/ ∧   = 5 / 3  = 1.67Hz

The rate at which the wave passed a given point is the speed of the wave and it is 5m/s
