Answer:
0.1835m/s
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the speed of wave is expressed as;
v = fλ
f is the frequency - The number of oscillations completed in one seconds
If 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds,
number of wave that passes in 1 seconds = 22/60 = 0.367 waves
Therefore the frequency f of the wave is 0.367Hertz
λ (wavelength) is the distance between successive crest and trough of a wave
λ = 0.5m
Substitute the given values into the formula
v = fλ
v = 0.367 * 0.5
v = 0.1835
Hence the speed of the waves is 0.1835m/s
