We can use the following equations to solve the problem:
Wavelength (λ) = Distance between two adjacent crests
Frequency (f) = Number of crests passing a given point per second
Wave speed (v) = λ x f
From the problem, we know that adjacent crests are positioned 2 m apart, and exactly five crests move past a given point in 5 seconds. Therefore, we can calculate the wavelength and frequency as follows:
Wavelength (λ) = Distance between two adjacent crests = 2 m
Frequency (f) = Number of crests passing a given point per second = (5 crests / 5 seconds) = 1 crest/second
Using the above values, we can calculate the wave speed as follows:
Wave speed (v) = λ x f = 2 m x 1 crest/second = 2 m/s
Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 2 meters, the frequency is 1 hertz (Hz), and the wave speed is 2 meters per second (m/s).
