An observer on sea-coast counts 45 waves in one minute. If the wavelength of the waves is 7 m , then the velocity of the waves will be

  1. A \(4.75 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  2. B \(5.25 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  3. C \(7.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
  4. D \(8.65 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5.25 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f = \frac{45}{60 \text{ s}} = 0.75 \text{ Hz}\) \(v = f \lambda = (0.75 \text{ Hz})(7 \text{ m}) = 5.25 \text{ m/s}\)
