Answer:

Period = 0.68 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of oscillation = 22

Time = 14.9 seconds

To find the period;

Method I.

Period = time/number of oscillation

Period = 14.9/22

Period = 0.68 seconds.

Method II.

We would find the frequency of the wave;

Frequency = time/number of oscillation

Frequency = 22/14.9

Frequency = 1.48 Hertz

Next, we find the period;

Period = 1/frequency

Period = 1/1.48

Period = 0.68 seconds
