you are sitting on a beach and a wave strikes the shore every 10 seconds. a surfer tells you that these waves travel at a speed of of 5m/s. how far apart are the crests of the waves, i.e what is the wavelength of these water waves? give your answer in meters
1. A wave is traveling at a speed of 12 m/s and its wavelength is 3 meters. Calculate the wave frequency.
Earthquakes at fault lines in Earth's crust create seismic waves, which are longitudinal (P-waves) or transverse (S-waves). The P-waves have a speed of about 6 km/s. Estimate the average bulk modulus of Earth's crust given that the density of rock is about 2,800 kg/m3. Got 1.008 or 1.008 x 1011 Pa prior and said it was incorrect
