The speed of the wave will depend on the wave crest and anchor chain passing time.

What is Speed?

Speed is what it means. the speed at which an object's location changes in any direction. The distance traveled in relation to the time it took to travel that distance is how speed is defined.

Given,

Distance= 15m

Time=6.5sec

Speed=?

We know that speed = Distance/ time

v= 15/6.5

speed, v= 2.30 m/s

Hence, the speed of waves is 2.30m/s
