Question

A marine weather station reports that waves along the shore are 10 seconds apart. The frequency of the waves is

Answer 1

Given:

The time period of the wave is T = 10 s

Required: The frequency of the wave

Explanation:

The frequency can be calculated by the formula

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

On substituting the values, the frequency of the wave will be

$\begin{gathered} f=\frac{1}{10} \\ =0.1\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}$

Final Answer: The frequency of the wave is 0.1 Hz
