You are supposed to use the basic formula for waves: speed = wavelength x frequency. In this case, you have to solve for frequency. (The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.)

A boat at anchor is rocked by waves whose crest are 40m apart and whose speed is 10m per s these waves reach the boat once every?

The frequency of the waves reaching the boat is 0.25 Hz (1 wave every 4 seconds) based on the given information.


A ship anchored at sea is rocked by waves that have crests 14 m apart The waves travel as 7.0 ms How often do the wave crests reach the ship?

Oh, dude, so you've got these waves cruising at 7.0 m/s and they're partying with crests 14 m apart. That means a crest hits the ship every 2 seconds because, like, you divide the distance by the speed. So, like, every 2 seconds, the ship gets a wave saying, "Hey, I'm here to rock your boat."


Which wave has a greater frequency- wave a where a crest is seen once every second or wave b where a crest is seen some evry minute?

Wave a has a greater frequency since it has a crest appearing every second, while wave b has a crest appearing every minute. Frequency is defined as the number of crests passing a fixed point in a given amount of time, so wave a has a higher frequency than wave b.


What is the frequency of a sea wave crest passing a stick twice every second?

The frequency of the sea wave crest passing a stick twice every second is 2 Hz. This means that two wave crests pass by the stick in one second.


Meaning of its beams effulgent on each crestling wave?

The phrase "its beams effulgent on each crestling wave" describes the way light is shining brilliantly on every small crest or peak of the waves, reflecting a dazzling and radiant appearance on the water's surface.
