An observer standing at the sea coast observes `54 waves` reaching the coast per minute. If the wavelength of a wave is `10 m`, find the wave velocity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`9 m//s`

Here, `v = (54)/(60) Hz, lamda = 10 m, v = v lamda = (54)/(60) xx 10 = 9 m//s`.
