General properties of waves — practice question

A circular pond has a radius of $3.0\,\text{m}$. Circular waves are generated at the centre of the pond. From the centre to the edge of the pond, there are $10$ complete waves, and it takes $5.0\,\text{s}$ for all $10$ waves to arrive at the edge. Determine the wavelength and the frequency of the waves.

  • A$0.30\,\text{m}$ and $0.50\,\text{Hz}$
  • B$0.30\,\text{m}$ and $2.0\,\text{Hz}$
  • C$0.60\,\text{m}$ and $0.50\,\text{Hz}$
  • D$0.60\,\text{m}$ and $2.0\,\text{Hz}$
