Answered

scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 5.45 m apart. if they shake the bridge three times per second, what is the propagation speed of the waves (in m/s)?



Answer :

The propagation speed of the waves is v = 1.1009 m/s

What is propagation of wave ?

Waves' progression and transformation through space and time. The article will examine several definitions in addition to the usual one for wave propagation.

There are numerous crests and troughs that sound waves travel over. II Sound waves need a physical medium to travel through. III The movement of particles is thought to be responsible for the propagation of sound waves.

Transverse waves include electromagnetic waves like X-rays, radio waves, and visible light. Electric and magnetic fields moving in a perpendicular direction make up these waves. The best examples of longitudinal waves, which vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave, are sound waves.

The formula is

v = fλ

given distance is 5.45 m

and the number of times the bridge is shaken is 3 times

this implies

v = 3 / 5.45 × 2

v = 1.1009 m/s
