Question

The frequency of a wave is 660 Hz. Its wavelength is 0.50 meter. Calculate the period of the wave.

Answer 1

the answer is 0.001515 s ,hope this helped! please crown me if it did when you can!

Answer 2

The answer is period T=0.0015 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for a sine wave is
`y(t)=A*sin(w*t+theta)`

where:

• A: is the amplitude of the wave
• w is the angular speed of the wave and is defined by :
  `w=2*π*f`

and f is the frequency of the wave.

• Theta is the phase of the wave

The period is defined as
`T=(1)/(f) ->T=(1)/(660 Hz)=0.0015 s`

As you can see, the wavelength is not used to determine the period of the wave, it is used to determine the speed of the wave and is given by the equation:
`v=x*f`

Where, v is the speed, x the length and f the frequency of the wave respectively.
