A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.40 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.630 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart.
a. How much is the wavelength?
b. Find the period of the wave.
c. How fast are the waves traveling?
d. What is the amplitude A of each wave?
