In a ripple tank 12 ripples are produced in one second . If distance between crest and next trough is 10cm find :a) wavelength b) frequency c) velocity of the wave. |

Answer» WAVELENGTH OF WAVE IS DISTANCE MOVED DURING ONE OSCILLATION. Distance between crest and next trough is HALF of the wavelength.Therefore wavelength is λ = 2 × 10 cm= 20 cm . FREQUENCY = ν = NUMBER OF RIPPLES PER SEC = 12/SEC = 12 HZ . Velocity of wave = ν ×λ = 12/sec × 0·2m = 2·4 m/sec = |
