Question

An ocean wave usually occurs at a frequency of 2.0 hz what is the period of each wave?

Answer 1

The period of a wave can be calculated with the formula below:

`T=(1)/(f)`

Where f is the frequency.

If the frequency is 2 Hz, the period is:

`T=(1)/(2)=0.5\text{ s}`

Therefore the period is 0.5 seconds.
