**11. A water-skier is moving at a speed of 12.0 m/s. When she skis in the same direction as a traveling wave, she springs upward every 0.600 s because of the wave crests. When she skis in the direction opposite to the direction in which the wave moves, she springs up- ward every 0.500 s in response to the crests. The speed of the skier is greater than the speed of the wave. Determine (a) the speed and (b) the wavelength of the wave.

**11. A water-skier is moving at a speed of 12.0 m/s. When she skis
in the same direction as a traveling wave, she springs upward every
0.600 s because of the wave crests. When she skis in the direction
opposite to the direction in which the wave moves, she springs up-
ward every 0.500 s in response to the crests. The speed of the skier
is greater than the speed of the wave. Determine (a) the speed and
(b) the wavelength of the wave.
