Detailed Solution

Water waves in the sea are observed to have a wavelength of 300 m and a frequency of 0.07 Hz. The speed of these waves will be 21 m/sec.
According to the question, the waves have a wavelength = 300 m
The frequency given is (f) = 0.07 Hz.
From the relation between frequency, wavelength and wave velocity is v=f× λ
Thus, velocity (v) = 0.07 × 300 
velocity (v) = 21 m/sec.
