Question

Ocean waves of time period 0.01s have a speed of 15 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of these waves. Find the distance between the adjacent crest and the through.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that

v = frequency × wavelength

frequency = 1/time period

15 = 1/0.01 × wavelength

wavelength= 15/100

= 0.15 m

Distance between adjacent crest and trough

= 0.15/2

= 0.075 m
