Answer to Question #184463 in Physics for Kayode Emmanuel

Question

The questions are

The wavelength of a water wave is 6cm when the frequency is 10Hz

1. What is the distance between two successive crests of the wave?

2. What is the speed of propagation?

Answer 1

1. The distance between two successive crests of the wave is equal to the wavelength, or 6 cm.
2. The speed of propagation is

$$v=\lambda f=0.06·10=0.6\text{ m/s}.$$
