A fisherman at sea in a 5.55.5 meter boat bobs in the waves. He counts that a new wave crest hits the front of his boat every 2.02.0 seconds. Looking out at the water, the distance between the crests seems to be twice the length of his boat. What is the frequency of the waves that rock the fisherman's boat?     AND   What is the velocity of the waves that rock the fisherman's boat?

The national seismological service is designing a training for new members in which they are asked to calculate the epicentral distance simulating an earthquake of magnitude 8.5 The information provided is as follows: surface waves generally have a frequency of 0.5 Hz and the intensity of the P wave in Mexico City was 2x106 J What is the power of a area of 483 m²? m³s" 4.83× 108 W 4.141 x 10³ W 9.66 × 108 W 9.66× 102 W

Ocean waves are traveling to the east at 3.4 m/s with a distance of 19 m between crests. (a) With what frequency do the waves hit the front of a boat when the boat is at anchor? Hz (b) With what frequency do the waves hit the front of a boat when the boat is moving westward at 1.0 m/s? Hz

A wave travels from deep water into shallow water. While in deep water, the wave has a speed of 1.9 m/s and a wavelength of 8.8 m. In the shallow water the wave has a wavelength of 4.3 m. What is the velocity of the wave in shallow water?

A pond is 12 metres across. The crests of two successive waves are 60.0 cm apart and they each move across the pond in 15 seconds. a) What is the velocity of the waves? b) What is the frequency of the waves? c) What is the period of the waves?
