Question
Calculate the speed of these 5 waves.
Calculations: for the following waves, use the information listed below and the equations listed in the Waves web page to determine:
a. whether they are shallow water or deep water waves (if that is relevant).
b. their speed in meters/second. (note: you may use a calculator, but these are designed so that a calculator is generally unnecessary.) Use ONE digit after the decimal point.
c. the equation you used.
