Ocean waves of time period 0.01s have a speed of 15 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of these waves. Find the distance between the adjacent crest and the through.
Given
Time Period (t) = 0.01 s;
Speed of wave (v) = 15m/s;
We know that
Wavelength = speed × time
⇒ Wavelength = 
Distance between adjacent crest and trough = 
= 
Hence
Wavelength = 0.15m
Distance between adjacent crest and trough = 0.075m
