The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
1 answer:
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.
wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:
wave period= 1/ 200/s
get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200
then you can start the actual computation:
wave period= 1 x s divided by 200
this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.
