Answer:
Explanation:
The problem is based on speed of transverse waves formed on the surface of water. Time to travel from crest to next trough is 2.4s . So time to travel from crest to next crest will be two times 2.4 s . That is 4.8 s.
Time to travel distance between two consecutive crest = 4.8s
distance between two consecutive crest is 48 m ( given )
velocity of wave = distance / time
= 48 / 4.8
= 10 m /s .
velocity of wave = 10 m /s.
Answer:
Speed of he wave is equal to 40 m/sec
Explanation:
We have given distance between adjacent crest is 48 m
Distance between adjacent crest is equal to half of the of the wavelength
So [tex]\frac{\lambda }{2}=48[/tex]
[tex]\lambda =96m[/tex]
Time period is given T = 2.4 sec
So frequency [tex]f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2.4}=0.4166Hz[/tex]
We have to find the speed of wave
Velocity is given by [tex]v=\lambda f=96\times 0.4166=40m/sec[/tex]
So speed of the wave will be equal to 40 m/sec
