Water is made to fall drop by drop on the surface of a pool at the rate 120 drops per minute. As aresult, circular ripples are formed on the surface and the distance between the third circle and theseventh circle is 60m.a) Calculate the frequency, period and wavelength.b) Deduce the speed of propagation of the waves on the water surface

Respuesta :

Frequency is [tex]2 drop/second[/tex]

Period is [tex]0.5[/tex]

Wavelength is [tex]15 m[/tex]

Speed of propagation of wave is [tex]30m/s[/tex]

Given:

           Drop on the surface of pool at the rate 120 drops per minute

          Distance between third cycle and the seventh cycle is 60 m

To find :

           Frequency, period and wavelength and speed of propagation of wave.

Solution:

          Since, frequency is number of cycles or vibration per second

      So, frequency [tex]=\frac{120 drops}{60 second} \\=2 drops/ second[/tex]

    Period is reciprocal of frequency.

       So,  [tex]period=\frac{1}{frequency}\\ \\ =\frac{1}{2} \\=0.5[/tex]

    Wavelength is distance between two consecutive cycle or vibrations.

               [tex]wavelength=\frac{60}{4}\\\\ =15 m[/tex]

[tex]Speed of propagation of wave=\frac{Wavelength}{Period} \\\\=\frac{15}{0.2}\\\\=30 m/s[/tex]
