2.9 The time between the crests is the period, so   s; hence
  1/  2.0 Hz. As for the speed   L /t  4.5 m/1.5 s  3.0 m/s. We
now know  ,  , and  and must determine . Thus,
  /  3.0 m/s/2.0 Hz  1.5 m.
2.10  =  = 3.5  103 m/s =  (4.3 m);  = 0.81 kHz.

2.11  =  = 1498 m/s = (440 HZ) ;  = 3.40 m.

2.12  = (10 m)/2.0 s) = 5.0 m/s;  = / = (5.0 m/s)/(0.50 m) = 10 Hz.
2.13     (/2 )  and so   (2 /).
