If a certain ocean wave has a frequency of 0.09 hertz and a wavelength of 10 meters, what is the speed?

Asked by Palma555

Answer (2)

Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength.
Wavespeed = 0.09 x 10
Wavespeed = 0.9 ms^-1

The speed of the ocean wave is calculated using the formula wave speed = frequency × wavelength . Substituting the given values, the wave speed is 0.9 m/s . This shows how quickly the wave travels through the ocean based on its frequency and wavelength.
