(C) The velocity of the wave is given as $v = 10 	ext{ m/s}$.The distance between two consecutive crests is the wavelength, $\lambda = 40 	ext{ m}$.The time interval between two consecutive waves striking the boat is equal to the time period $(T)$ of the wave.The relationship between velocity, wavelength, and time period is given by $v = \frac{\lambda}{T}$.Rearranging for $T$, we get $T = \frac{\lambda}{v}$.Substituting the given values: $T = \frac{40 	ext{ m}}{10 	ext{ m/s}} = 4 	ext{ s}$.Therefore, the consecutive waves strike the boat after $4 	ext{ s}$.

Waves having a velocity $10 \text{ m/s}$ strike a stationary boat near the sea shore. The distance between two consecutive crests of the waves is $40 \text{ m}$. After how many seconds do the consecutive waves strike the boat (in $\text{ s}$)?
