Abird is sitting on a wooden post in the ocean a short distance offshore. if 2 wave crests pass by the bird every second, and each wave has a length of 2.5 meters, what is the speed of the wave? a. 0.8 m/s b. 2 m/s c. 5 m/s d. 3 m/s

The answer is C. 5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave speed can be calculated using the following formula:

v = f x λ

where v is the wave speed, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

So, in this example, the wave speed equals

2 waves/second  x  2.5 meters  =  5 m/s

 Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of each wave = 2.5 meters

Since there are 2 wave crests pass by the bird every second ,

So, Length of two waves is given by

As we know the formula for " Speed " :

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.

what are ur choices?

answer:   c ?
