What is the wavelength of the waves you create in a swimming pool, if you splash your hand at a rate of 2.00hz, and the waves propagate at 0.640m/s?
A fisher has anchored her 11 m long boat far away from the shore. The waves in the water cause the boat to rock, and the boat performs 12 vertical oscillations
within 7 s. The wave crests travel from bow (front) to stern (back) of the boat in 4 s. She notes that at time t = 0 the bow of the boat is at the top of a wave. She
then observes the wave phase at bow again at t = 1s
