Some giant ocean waves have a wavelength of 25 m and travel at 6.5 m/s with a frequency of 0.26 HZ. What is the period of such a wave ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.85s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength = 25m

Velocity  = 6.5m/s

Frequency  = 0.26Hz

Unknown:

Period of the wave = ?

Solution:

The period of a wave is the inverse of the frequency of the wave.

    Period  = [tex]\frac{1}{frequency}[/tex]  

  Period = [tex]\frac{1}{0.26}[/tex]   = 3.85s
