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.

Assertion: The electromagnetic waves of shorter wavelength can travel longer distances on earth's surface thane those of longer of longer wavelengths. Reason: Shorter the wavelength, the larger is the velocity of wave propagation. Also, shorter the wavelength, shorter is the velocity of wave propagation.

Microwaves are reflected from a distant airplane approaching a stationary observer. It is found that when the reflected waves beat against the waves radiating from the source, the beat frequency is 900 Hz. Calculate the approach speed of the airplane if the wavelength of the microwave is 0.1 H. Velocity of microwave is 3 xx 10^(8)" m/s".
