Cork tiles themselves are generally not made with asbestos, but some flooring materials from the 1950s could contain asbestos, especially if they are composite tiles or have a backing material. To determine if your cork tiles contain asbestos, it's best to have them tested by a professional. If you're concerned about potential asbestos exposure, avoid disturbing the tiles until you know for sure.

A cork floats on the water as a wave passes by What happens to the cork Will the cork's vibrational frequency be related to the water wave's frequency and if so how?

The cork will move up and down with the passing wave, but it will still remain on the surface. The cork's vibrational frequency can be related to the water wave's frequency if the wave causes the cork to vibrate at a similar rate as the wave passing by. This phenomenon is known as resonance, where the cork absorbs energy from the passing wave, causing it to vibrate at the same frequency.
