Answer:
The speed of the wave is 2 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Distance covered by water waves or the wavelength of water wave, [tex]d=2\ m[/tex]
The water waves on a lake goes by a piece of floating cork that bobs up and down one complete cycle each second, t = 1 s
The speed of the wave is equal to the distance covered divided by total time taken i.e.
[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]
v = 2 m/s
So, the speed of the wave is 2 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
