Question

You dip your finger into a pan of water three times each second, producing waves with crests that are separated by 0.16 m.
Determine the frequency of these water waves.
1 Hz
What is the period of the water waves.
2 s
Find the speed of the waves.
3 m/s You dip your finger into a pan of water three times each second, producing waves with crests that are separated by 0.16 m.
Determine the frequency of these water waves.
1 Hz
What is the period of the water waves.
2 s
Find the speed of the waves.
3 m/s

Explanation / Answer

given wavelength is 0.16m,

Frequency = no. of dips/time = 3/1 = 3

Period (T) = 1/F = 1/3 = 0.33
Speed = wavelength/T = 0.16/0.33 = 0.48 m/s
