Question

What is the wave speed of a deep water wave if the wavelength is 48.2 meters?

Answer 1

The value of the frequency of the wave was assumed to be 50Hz and the speed was computed to be 2410 m/s

Wave and Motion

Given Data

• Wavelength = 48.2 meters

• Frequency f = 50 Hz (Assumed value)

We know that the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength is given as

v = fλ

Substitute our values and solving for velocity(Speed) we have

v = 50*48.2

v = 2410 m/s

Hence the speed of the wave is 2410 m/s
