frequency is the reciprocal of period

f = 1/9 = 0.11 Hz

Answer: The correct answer is 0.11 Hz.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between frequency of the wave and time period is as follows;


f=(1)/(T)

Here, f is the frequency of the wave and T is the time period.

Here, the frequency is inversely proportional to the time period.

It is given in the problem that a wave has a wavelength of 45 meters and a period of 9.0 seconds.

Calculate the frequency of the wave.


f=(1)/(T)

Put T= 9 s.


f=(1)/(9)

f=0.11 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 0.11 Hz.
