The period of the wave is 4.35 ms. The sound waves are called longitudinal waves
Explanation:
The period of a wave is related to its frequency by the equation:
where
T is the period
f is the frequency
For the bee in this problem, the frequency of the sound wave emitted by it is
Therefore, the period of the sound wave is
The sound wave is a type of wave called longitudinal wave. In longitudinal waves, the oscillation of the medium occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave: therefore in a sound wave, the particle of the medium (air, in this case) oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation of the wave, forming alternating areas of higher density of particles (called compressions) and of lower density of particle (called rarefactions).
The other type of wave, instead, is called transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the oscillation of the wave occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. An example of transverse waves are the electromagnetic waves, which consists of electric field and magnetic fields that vibrate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave itself.
