GivEn that:
◕ Wavelength = 6.0 centimetres
◕ Frequency = 4.0 Hz
To calculaTe:
◕ Speed of water wave
SoluTion:
◕ Speed of water wave = 0.24 m/s
Using ConcEpts:
◕ Formula to convert centimetres into metres.
◕ Formula to calculate speed if wavelength and frequency is given.
UsiNg Formulas:
◕ 1 cm = 1/100 metres
◕ Speed = Wavelength × Frequency
Full SolutioN:
~ Firstly let us convert centimetres into metres by using suitable formula!
→ 1 cm = 1/100 metres
→ 6 cm = 6/100 metres
→ 6 cm = 0.06 metres
~ Now let us find out the speed by using suitable formula!
→ Speed = Wavelength × Frequency
→ Speed = 0.06 × 4
→ Speed = 0.24 m/s
