calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal form

Respuesta :

AL2006
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second
