Asked by Kayla
The speed of water waves is 30cm/s in deep water & 15cm/s in shallow water. If the wavelength in deep water is 1.0cm, what is the wavelength in shallow water?
(v2/v1)=(wavelength2/wavelength1)
Therefore (15/30)=(wavelength2/1)
- 15=30wavlength2
-Wavelength2=0.5cm/s
A) Is that correct?
B) I'm confident I chose the right values for 1 & 2 because I know that the wavelength gets shorter as the water gets shallower but otherwise, when it's not specified, how do I know what is 2 & what is 1?
Thanks a ton :)
