Question
A grasshopper floating in water generates waves at a rate of three per second with a wavelength of two centimeters. (a) What is the period of these waves in seconds? (b) What is the wave velocity in m/s?

T = 1/f = 1/3 second
distance = rate * time
.02 = c * 1/3
c = .06 m/s
distance = rate * time
.02 = c * 1/3
c = .06 m/s
