An observer sits in a boat watching wave fronts move past the boat. The distance between successive wave crests is 0.80 m, and they are moving at 2.6 m/s.What is the wavelength of these waves? What is the frequency of these waves? What is the period of these waves?

Answer:

The  wavelength is   [tex]\lambda = 0.80 \ m[/tex]

The  frequency is  [tex]f = 3.25 \ Hz[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The distance between two successive crest is 0.80 m

      The  velocity is  v =  2.6 m/s

Generally wavelength is the distance between two successive crest

So  

    [tex]\lambda = 0.80 \ m[/tex]

Now  the frequency is mathematically represented  as

        [tex]f = \frac{v}{\lambda }[/tex]

        [tex]f = \frac{2.6}{0.80 }[/tex]

       [tex]f = 3.25 \ Hz[/tex]
