Question-37 An observer on sea-coast counts 45 waves in one minute. If the wavelength of the waves is 7\ m, then velocity of the waves will be
(A) 4.75\ m/s
(B) 5.25\ m/s
(C) 7.5\ m/s
(D) 8.65\ m/s
Answer : (C)
Explanation:
Given: n = 45 waves/min = 0.75 waves/s
Velocity, v = nλ = 0.75 × 7 = 5.25 m/s
