\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

Wavelength, Wavespeed and frequency depends on each other in the following way :


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: frequency = (wave \: \: velocity)/(wavelength)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f = (389)/(8)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: f \approx 48.62 \: \: hertz

And we know the Reciprocal relationship between frequency and period ~

So, let's find it's period •


\sf{\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: t = (8)/(389)}


\sf{\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: t \approx 0.02 sec }
