ou are sitting on a boat dock watching water waves go by you track one wave crest with your eyes and notice that it takes 10 seconds for the crest to reach another boat dock. you also notice that each crest reaches your dock 0.5 seconds previous crest. The crest and through on each wave are 2 m apart.    1. Calculate the wavelength of the water waves  2. Calculate the distance between the two boat docks

Wave Motion

A wave motion is defined as the propagation of disturbances or transfer of energy and momentum from the state of rest or equilibrium to another point in a medium without any actual transfer of matter between them. In a simple explanation, it is the propagation of energy through a medium that is produced due to the repeated vibrations of the particles. Common things we see day to day like waves on water oscillation of a pendulum or bell, light wave, and all the subatomic particles exhibiting wavelike properties. The propagation of waves depends on the medium and their properties. The wave function is the disturbance that produces waves as a function of time. This disturbance oscillates periodically with a fixed frequency and wavelength. There are linear wave motion and non-linear wave motion based on their propagation, motion, and time period where linear wave motion is like sinusoidal waves and non-linear wave motion like a wave motion that gets interrupted in the middle of their propagation.
