What is the fundamental frequency and wave speed?

Physics help please? (wave speed, frequency etc)?

  • I know the basic equation for working wave speed, frequency and wavelength but I've encountered questions which want me to work one of these out without providing two figures, can you please explain how to do them? A wave crest passes the boat every 4.0 seconds. Calculate the frequency of the waves in hertz. The distance from one wave crest to the next wave trough is 5.0 m. Calculate the wavelength of the waves. Calculate the speed of the waves.

  • Answer:

    1 wave per four seconds so 1/4 = 0.25 Hz What do you mean by the next wave through?
