A boat at anchor is rocked by waves of velocity 25m/s, having crests 100 m apart. The boat bounches up once in every (a) 4.0s (b) 2500s (c) 0.25s (d) 75s

Answer»

(a) 4.0s

λ = distance between crests = 100 m frequency v = \(\frac{25}{100} = \frac{1}{4} S^{-1}\) 

Therefore, the crests reach the boat once every 4 seconds.
