    Activity 3. Through the Waves!
    Directions: Solve the following problems. Show your complete solution and encircle your final answer.

    1. A swimmer at the beach notices that three wave crests pass a certain point every 10.0 seconds. She also
    notes that each wave crest is about 2.0 meters apart.

    a. What is the period of the wave that the swimmer is observing?

    b. What is the frequency of the wave that the swimmer is observing?

    c. What is the speed of the waves that the swimmer is observing?

    2. A submarine trying to detect an enemy destroyer notes that a sonar signal sent through the water returns 0.40
    seconds after it was sent. The frequency of the sonar used by the submarine is 20 kilo-hertz. The speed of
    sound in sea water is 1.56 x 103 meters per second.

    e. How far away is the destroyer?


    f. The sonar computers receive a reflection from the destroyer at a frequency of 19 kilo-hertz. What
    useful information about the motion of the destroyer does this mean the computer can report?
