Mr. burns is carefully counting his money at the nuclear power plant while the epa is carefully counting the waves of toxic waste that is dumped in the local river. the epa counts 600 waves in 8 hours. each wave has a wavelength of 3 feet. using the information calculate the wave frequency, wave period, and wave speed. be sure to label with units

(1) wave frequency is the number of waves passing a point at a certain time. Usually, this is expressed in a unit of 1/s or Hz.
f = (600 waves) / (8 hours x 3600 seconds/1 hour) = 1/48 or 0.02 Hz
(2) wave period, T = 1/f
T = 1/48 Hz = 48 s
(3) wave speed
speed = (600 waves)(3 ft/1 wave) / 8 hours
= 225 ft/h

A.) We know, wave frequency is the number of waves passing a point at a certain time.

So, Frequency = Number of waves / unit time (in sec)
Here, Number of waves = 600
Time = 8 hours = 8 * 3600 = 28,800 s

Now, substitute the values into the expression:
f = 600 / 28800
f = 6/288
f = 0.02 Hertz

B.) Now, We know, wave period is the reciprocal of the frequency,
So, T = 1/f
T = 1/0.02
T= 50 sec

C.) wave speed = (600 waves)(3 ft/1 wave) / 8 hours = 225 Ft/h

In short, Your Answer would be 225 Ft/h for this part

Hope this helps!

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
