General properties of waves — practice question

The diagrams illustrate a wave on the water surface in a tank at times $1.0\ \text{s}$ apart. The wave is generated at P and moves to the right. Which row gives the frequency and the speed of this water wave?

  • A$2.0\ \text{Hz},\ 4.0\ \text{cm s}^{-1}$
  • B$2.0\ \text{Hz},\ 8.0\ \text{cm s}^{-1}$
  • C$4.0\ \text{Hz},\ 4.0\ \text{cm s}^{-1}$
  • D$4.0\ \text{Hz},\ 8.0\ \text{cm s}^{-1}$
