Easy

A wave tank is used to study the properties of water waves. A small floating cork is placed in the water. As waves pass, the cork bobs up and down.

A diagram showing a wave tank with a wave generator on the left. Transverse water waves are traveling to the right. A small spherical cork is floating on the surface of the water, bobbing up and down as the waves pass. A digital stopwatch is shown next to the tank.

Describe how to determine the frequency of the waves.
