Question 1120258: a. Water waves have a frequency of 6 Hz and a wavelength of 3 m.
i. What is the period of these waves?
ii. What is the wave velocity?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
wave length is velocity/frequency or
wavelength*frequency=velocity
300 cm*6 Hz=1800cm/sec or 18 m/sec velocity
Periodicity=1/frequency or 1/6 sec
