A fisherman sees 7 wave crests go by in 10.0 s. The crests are 2.43 m apart. Find the period of the wave. (Unit = s)​

Velocity of the wave is 1.7 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is defined as the number of waves crossing a fixed point per second

So here we will have

Also we know that the distance between two consecutive crest or two consecutive trough is known as wavelength

So here the wavelength of the wave is given as

now we have
