An ocean wave has a wavelength of 10 meters These waves pass by a stationary boat every 2 seconds The speed of the waves is?
The speed of a wave = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (10) x (1/2) = 5 meters per second.
An ocean wave has a wavelength of 4 m and a frequency of 3 waves per second what is the speed of a wave?
The speed of the wave is 4x3= 12 meters/second.
An ocean wave can have a cycle that lasts 5 seconds What is its frequency?
if the cycle lasts 5 seconds, then the frequency is 0.2 Hz
How do you convert meters to KHz and what is 300 meters in KHz?
You do not. A metre is a measure of distance, a kiloHertz is a measure of frequency. The two measure different things and it makes no sense to convert from one to the other without additional information - for example: whether you are talking about electromagnetic waves, or sound waves, or waves in the ocean or whatever.
Derive a formula for the speed of ocean waves in terms of Density acceleration of free fall depth and wavelength?

A real life example of a wavelength?
There are many real life examples of a wavelength. The radio station on campus produces waves of about 3 meters--we solved for it in a lab given a frequency and the velocity of sound in air. The wavelength of a wave in general is considered to be crest to crest or trough to trough... Which is very visually apparent if you imagine a series of waves on the ocean.
An ocean wave has a length of 12.0 m A wave passes a fixed location every 3.0 seconds What is the speed of the wave?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (12) x (1/3) = 4 meters per second
What is the speed of a wave with a frequency of 10kHz and a wavelength of 2m?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)Speed = (2 meters) x (10,000 per second) = 20,000 meters per second
An ocean wave has a wavelength of 10 meters these waves pass by a stationary boat every 2.0 seconds the speed of the waves is?
5m/s...
How do you measure the wavelength of a wave?
Since there are several kinds of waves, there are several ways to measure their frequency. Electrical waves can be measured with a frequency counter, an analog frequency meter or an oscilloscope. Ocean waves' frequency is measured with a stopwatch, but most people who measure ocean waves want to know how large they are rather than how fast they're coming.
What are wavelengths?
A wave can be thought of as a vibrating disturbance by which energy is transmitted. Waves are characterized by their height and Length. Consider water waves in the ocean: They have peaks and troughs and move on one direction.A wavelength (symbolized in chemistry by the Greek letter lambda) is the distance from the center of one peak of a wave to the center of the next peak of the next wave ( water wave, radio wave, electromagnetic, etc.). The frequency symbolized by a "v" (called nu ) is the number of waves that pass through a particular point in one second.There is another term in association with wavelength called amplitude. Amplitude is the vertical distance from the midline of a wave to the peak or trough.The speed ( u ) of a wave is the product of its wavelength and frequency: u=lambda (v)A wavelength is usually expressed in units of meters, centimeters, or nanometers (1 x 10 -9 meters), and frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), were 1Hz= 1 cycle per second.Reference: Chemistry by chang 10th
What is the depth of the Indian Ocean in meters?
The Indian Ocean's depth is 3,890 meters.
What happens to the wavelength if the sound wave slows down and the frequency dont change?
Wavelength and frequency are locked together in an inverse proportionality. If the frequency of a wave is constant, the wavelength of the wave will be constant. Increase one and the other decreases. Decrease one and the other increases. That said, let's look at the dynamics of a tsunami, which may be the general direction in which this was heading. In a tsunami, the wave moves very quickly in the open ocean, and it has a long wavelength. As it closes on shore, the leading edge of the wave slows down as the sea bottom "rises up" to meet the wave. As the leading edge of the wave continues to slow down, the "rest of the wave" begins to "catch up" with the wave front. This causes the wave to build; its height will increase. The actual wavelength is decreasing (and its frequency will be increasing), and the wave continues to slow down. Higher and higher it will build, and then it will break on the shore and carry inland.
