As you sit on a dock, you notice a wave crest pass. You count another four
wave crests in the next 12 seconds. What is the frequency of these waves?
A. 12 Hz
B. 0.333 Hz
C. 4 Hz
D. 3 Hz

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) 0.333 Hz

Explanation:

Lets see what are the main properties of a wave

  • The frequency of a wave is the number of times per second that the wave cycles. - measured in Hertz (Hz)
  • wave crest is shown in the figure.
  • wavelength of a wave is the distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves.
  • The period of the wave is the time between wave crests
  • The amplitude of a wave is a measure of the displacement of the wave from its rest position

observer sees 4 crests in 12 seconds

according to this  , the number of crests he sees in a minute

[tex]frequency=\frac{4}{12} =0.333 Hz[/tex]
