Question #184407

What is the wavelength of the waves you create in a swimming pool if you splash your hand at a rate of 2.34 Hz and the waves propagate at a wave speed of 4.1 m/s?

Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Expert's answer

The wavelength is

"\\lambda=vt=\\frac vf=\\frac{4.1}{2.34}=1.75\\text{ m}."
