An observer sits in a boat watching wave fronts move past the boat. the distance between successive wave crests is 0.80 m, and they are moving at 2.2 m / s.

what is the wavelength of these waves?
a. 1.6 m
b. 2.2 m
c. 0.80 m

what is the frequency of these waves?
a. 0.36 hz
b. 2.8 hz
c. 0.80 hz

what is the period of these waves?
a. 0.80 s
b. 0.36 s
c. 2.8 s

To solve this problem we will use the three requested concepts: Wavelength, frequency and period.

The wavelength is the distance between each crest, therefore it is already given and is 0.8m

The correct answer is C.

The frequency can be described as a relationship between wave speed and wavelength therefore

The correct answer is B.

The period is the inverse of the frequency therefore

The correct answer is B.

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
