A stone is thrown in a pond. 12 full ripples are produced in one second. If distance between crests and trough is 10 cm, calculate the velocity and wavelength

  • 1
frequency  =  12 hz
distance between crest and trough = 10 cm
 so, distance between two crests or troughs (wavelength) =  (10) (2)  = 20cm  = 0.20 m
 velocity =  (wavelength) ( frequency)
              =    (0.20) (12)
              = 2.4 m/s

 
  • 0
wavelength=2x10=20cm 0.20m
frequency=12/1=12hz
velocity=wavelength x frequency
=0.20 x 12
=2.40 m/s
