The distance between two successive crests of
a certain transverse wave is 1.05 m. Eight
crests pass a given point along the direction
of travel every 17.9 s.
velocity= 8*1.05/17.9 m/s
What is your question?
To determine the wavelength of the transverse wave, you can use the formula:
Wavelength = Distance / Number of Crests
Given that the distance between two successive crests is 1.05 m and eight crests pass a given point every 17.9 seconds, we can plug in these values into the formula to find the wavelength:
Wavelength = 1.05 m / 8
Wavelength = 0.13125 m
Therefore, the wavelength of the transverse wave is 0.13125 meters.
