A fisher has anchored her 11 m long boat far away from the shore. The waves in the water cause the boat to rock, and the boat performs 12 vertical oscillations
within 7 s. The wave crests travel from bow (front) to stern (back) of the boat in 4 s. She notes that at time t = 0 the bow of the boat is at the top of a wave. She
then observes the wave phase at bow again at t = 1s
What is the period of waves?
T = 1
What is the wavelength?
X=1
S
m
What is the number of complete waves that fits in the length of the boat simultaneously?
nwaves 1
What is the angular velocity of the waves?
rad
w=1
What is the wave phase at the time of the second observation [0...2 pi]?
rad
