Answer:
The distance between the two successive crests of the wave is 360m
Explanation:
Wavelength is defined as the property of wave in which the distance between identical points between two successive waves are calculated
Wavelength is referred to as the distance between two successive crests or troughs
Given that:
speed = 72.0 m/s
time = 5 seconds
Using the formula
C = fλ
Where C = speed, f = freequency and λ = wavelength
F = 1 / time
F = 1/5
F = 0.2Hz
From the fomula C = fλ
make λ the subject of the formula
λ = C / f
λ = 72/0.2
λ = 360m
