Problem

A student measures the oscillations of a water wave in three trials: Trial 1: 25 oscillations in 2.5 s Trial 2: 40 oscillations in 3.8 s Trial 3: 35 oscillations in 3.3 s If the wavelength of the wave is 0.30 m, what is the approximate speed of the wave based on the average frequency of the trials? a) 3.9 m/s3.9\,\text{m/s} b) 30 m/s30\,\text{m/s} c) 3.1 m/s3.1\,\text{m/s} d) 3.0 m/s3.0\,\text{m/s}
