What is the period of a wave with a wavelength of 8 cm and a frequency of 0.5 Hz
The formula to calculate the period (T) of a wave is:
T = 1/f
where T is the period and f is the frequency.
Given the wavelength (λ) of the wave is 8 cm and the frequency (f) is 0.5 Hz:
T = 1/f
T = 1/0.5
T = 2 seconds
Therefore, the period of the wave is 2 seconds.
