Detailed Solution

In a ripple tank, 10 full ripples are produced in one second. The distance between a trough and a crest is 15 cm. The velocity of the wave is 3 m/sec.
We know that Velocity=frequency × wavelength
Frequency is the number of ripples produced in one-second
Frequency(n)=10 Hz
Wavelength is the distance between consecutive troughs and crests, λ/2=15 cm.
Wavelength, λ=30 cm
According to the formula v=× λ
Therefore, speed of the wave
= 10 × 30 
v= 300 cm/sec
speed of the wave(v) = 3 m/sec.
