An ocean wave traveling at a speed of 27.5 m/s slams into the shoreline. If that wave had a frequency
of 8.5 Hz, what was the wavelength? (round to 1 decimal place)

Answer:

λ = 3.2 m

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Speed of the wave (v): 27.5 m/s
  • Frequency of the wave (f): 8.5 Hz = 8.5 s⁻¹
  • Wavelength of the wave (λ): ?

Step 2: Calculate the wavelength of the ocean wave

The ocean wave is a mechanical wave. We can calculate the wavelength of the wave using the following expression.

λ = v/f

λ = (27.5 m/s)/8.5 s⁻¹

λ = 3.2 m
