A wave oscillates 5.0 times a second and has a speed of 4.0 m/s.

A. The frequency of any wave is the number of times it oscillates in one second. That's given in the question.

Frequency = 5.0 Hertz.

B. The period of any wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

Period = (1 / 5.0 Hz)

Period = 0.2 second .

C. The wavelength of any wave is (speed / frequency).

Both of these numbers are given in the question.

Wavelength = (4.0 m/s) / (5.0 Hz) .

Wavelength = 0.8 meter .

may or may not be lying. \(^_^)/

a. f = 5.0 Hz

b. T = 1/f

1/5.0 Hz

period of 0.20 s

c. λ = v/f

4.0 m/s / 5.0 Hz

wavelength of 0.80 m
