Periodic waves spread out over the surface of a lake where two women, Jenny and Melissa, are fishing in separate boats 86 meters apart. Each woman's boat bobs up and down 34/min. At a time when Jenny's boat is at a crest, Melissa's boat is at its lowest point, and there are 2 additional crests between them. Calculate the wavelength of these water waves.

The wavelength of the water is

Explanation:

From the question awe are told that

               The distance between the two boats are 46 m

  Now we are told that a the time the Jenny's boat is at a crest,Melissa's boat is at its lowest point, and there are 4 additional crests between them which can be mathematically represented as

                        Number of wavelength = 4 + 0.5(this accounts for the difference in position crest and lowest point)

                                                             = 4.5

Now the wavelength of the water is

photocells convert light energy to electricity
