Answer :

Answer:

f = 0.0833 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency is defined as the no. of cycles per unit time. The frequency of water waves can be given by the following formula:

[tex]Frequency\ of\ waves = f = \frac{No.\ of\ Waves}{time}\\[/tex]

here,

No. of Waves = No. of times seagull moves up and down = 5

Time = 1 minute = 60 sec

Therefore, using these values in the formula, we get:

[tex]f = \frac{5}{60\ sec}[/tex]

f = 0.0833 Hz
