The period of the ocean waves hitting the beach is 0.3125 s.
The period of an oscillation is the time taken for an oscillating particle to complete a cycle.
The period of an oscillation is inversely proportional to the frequency of an oscillation.
[tex]T = \frac{1}{f} \\\\ T = \frac{1}{3.2} \\\\ T = 0.3125 \ s[/tex]
Thus, the period of the ocean waves hitting the beach is 0.3125 s.
