Answer:Number of waves =2.2
Explanation:
The frequency of A wave is defined as the number of waves moving a fixed point per second which is given as
f=[tex]\frac{N}{t}[/tex]
F= Frequency
N= number of waves
t= time
We first find the frequency
Given velocity of the wave, v = 13m/s
and wavelength, λ as 6meters(distance between two consecutive crest)
, we fiind the frequency using
v= f λ
frequency = v / λ
= (13m/s ) / 6
=2.16s-1
f = [tex]\frac{N}{t}[/tex]
2.16s₋¹= [tex]\frac{N}{1s}[/tex]
Therefore N, Number of waves = 2.16 waves rounded up to 2.2 waves
