A girl on the beach sees 8 waves pass in 4 s. If the wavelength of each
wave 1.2 m, what is the velocity of the waves?
This is for cherylnotcherry

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

              = x 1.2

              = 0.6 m/s

The velocity of wave is 2.4m/s.

Explanation:

First, find the frequency using the formula :

Let t = 4,

Next, given that each wave is 1.2m and there are 8 waves so the wavelength is :

Lastly, you have to use velocity formula :

Let f = 0.25Hz,

Let λ = 9.6m,

(Correct me if I am wrong)

a lot of it means it can be "burned" for energy and sold at one price. if it is scarce, the price will go up
