Water waves in a small tank are 06 m long


Asked by wiki @ in Physics viewed by 877 People


Water waves in a small tank are .06 m long. They pass a given point at a rate of 14.8 waves every three seconds. What is the speed of the water waves? What is the period of these water waves?

Answered by wiki @



Answer:

Speed = 0.296m/2

Period = 0.203 s

Explanation:

If by 'long' you mean the wavelength of the waves, then the wavelength \lambda=0.06m.

The frequency f of the waves is 14.8 waves every 3 seconds or

f=14.8/3 =4.33Hz.

Now the relationship between wavelength \lambda, frequency f and speed v of the waves is:

v=\lambda f

We put in the values \lambda=0.06m and f=4.933Hz and get:

\boxed{v=0.06*4.922=0.296m/s}

Now the period T is just the inverse of the frequency, or

T=\frac{1}{f}

\boxed{T=\frac{1}{4.933}=0.203\:seconds }
