Ocean waves crash on the beach at a
velocity of 4.4 m/s. If the distance
between the crest of each wave is 4m,
find the frequency of the waves.


Sagot :

Answer:

f = 1.1 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The velocity of an ocean wave, v = 4.4 m/s

The distance  between the crest of each wave is 4 m.

We need to find the frequency of the waves.

The distance between the crest of a wave is called the wavelength of a wave.

The relation between the frequency, wavelength and the velocity of a wave is given by :

[tex]v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{4.4}{4}\\\\f=1.1\ Hz[/tex]

So, the frequency of the waves is 1.1 Hz.
