The wavelength of a water wave is 6 cm when the frequency is 10 hertz .

1. What is the distance between successive crests of the wave ?
2. What is the speed of propagation ?
3 What is the period of the wave ?

Please show workings.​


Sagot :

  1. The distance between successive crests (or successive troughs) is defined as the wavelength. The time elapsed between the crossings of two successive crests through a given point is the period of the wave.
  2. The Velocity of propagation (Vp) of a cable is the speed at which an electrical signal can propagate through the cable in comparison to the speed of light. For example, in a vacuum, the velocity of propagation would be 100% or 1 (depending on how it is represented).
  3. The wave period is the time it takes to complete one cycle. The standard unit of a wave period is in seconds, and it is inversely proportional to the frequency of a wave, which is the number of cycles of waves that occur in one second.
