Answer: As you probably have seen in the ocean or a lake, the stronger the wind, the higher the waves. The period and wavelength can be expressed in terms of their reciprocals, the wave frequency ω = 2(pi)/T, and the wave number κ = 2(pi)/λ.
Explanation: To find the period, we solve for T=1f, given the value of the frequency (f=2s−1). T=12 s−1=0. 5 s. Since one definition of wavelength is the distance a wave has traveled after one complete cycle (or one period), the values for the wavelength (λ=0.9m) as well as the frequency are given.
