- Step 1: Write down the equation needed to solve for velocity Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency Step 2: Place the known measurements into the equation Step 3: Solve the equation. Carefully put the numbers into your calculator. Recheck your answers! It is very easy to hit the wrong button on your calculator. Use correct SI units-Answer Huge waves in the ocean, are studied by scientists and researchers. Ships have reported waves an height of 25 meters high! These waves are said to be about 25 meters long. Assuming that these waves travel at speeds of 6.5 m/s, determine their frequency.arrow_forwardYou watch the ocean shore from your beach-front villa and count 30 waves arriving at the beach in 60 seconds.

What is its approximate wavelength? a. 2155 m b. 127500 m c. 2045 m d. 23 marrow_forward3.Which graph shows a linear relationship? The frequency is linear when plotted as a function of inverse length (ff vs. 1/L1/L). The frequency is linear when plotted as a function of length (ff vs. LL). 4.Draw a best-fit line through the linear graph’s data, and use the slope of this line to determine the wave speed. Express your answer in meters per second to two significant figures.arrow_forward
