Answer:
0.28 m/s
Explanation:
From the equation of a moving wave,
V = λf……………… Equation 1
Where V = speed of the water wave, λ = wave length of the water wave, f = frequency of the water wave.
Given: λ = 7.0 cm = 0.07 m, f = 4 Hz.
Substitute into equation 1
V = 0.07(4)
V = 0.28 m/s.
Hence the speed of the water wave = 0.28 m/s
