Five crests of a water wave pass a fixed pole in 10 s10\,\text{s}. The pole rises and falls 2 cm2\,\text{cm} from its mean position each time a crest passes. a. (i) Calculate the frequency of the wave. b. (ii) What is the net horizontal displacement of the pole after these 10 s10\,\text{s}? Give reason.
