Answer:
(a) 0.33 second
(b) 6 cm/s
Explanation:
Frequency, f = 3 waves per second
wavelength, λ = 2 cm = 0.02 m
(a) The period of wave is defined as the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation. It is the reciprocal of frequency.
T = 1 / f = 1 / 3 = 0.33 second
(b) the relation between wave velocity, frequency and wavelength is given by
v = f x λ
v = 3 x 0.02 = 0.06 m /s
v = 6 cm /s
