At a beach, a wave hits the shore every 10 seconds. If there is 6m between successive waves, calculate the speed of the waves.
Remember:
To find frequency
f = waves per second ÷ T (time)
Wave Equation:
v = f λ
(a)
A child playing with a slinky shakes it backwards and forwards 5 times every second. If the waves in the slinky are 0.3m long, calculate the speed of the waves.
Remember:
To find frequency
f = waves per second ÷ T (time)
Wave Equation:
v = f λ
(a)
Gary flicks a hose twice every second to form a wave with a wavelength of 1.5m. What is the speed of the wave as it travels down the hose?
Remember:
To find frequency
f = waves per second ÷ T (time)
Wave Equation:
v = f λ
