A wave with a frequency of 1.1 Hz travels through deep water at a speed of 5.7 m/s. When the wave enters shallow water, its speed slows to 3.2 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave in the shallow water?

The wavelength of the wave in shallow water is 2.91 m.

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, f = 1.1 Hz

speed of the wave in deep water, v₁ = 5.7 m/s

speed of the wave in shallow water, v₂ = 3.2 m/s

The wavelength of the wave in the deep water is calculated as;

λ₁ = v₁/f

λ₁ = 5.7 / 1.1

λ₁ = 5.18 m

The wavelength of the wave in the shallow water is calculated as;

λ₂ = v₂/f

λ₂ = 3.2 / 1.1

λ₂ = 2.91 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave in shallow water is 2.91 m.

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.

it would be kevlar ^^
