Question

A rope is shaken and produces 2 waves each second. Calculate the time period of the rope waves.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

Period of a wave is simply defined as the time taken to make one complete oscillation. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

T = t / n

Whereb

T => is the period

t => is the space time

n => is the number of circle or oscillation.

With the above formula, we can obtain the period of the wave as follow:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

T = t / n

T = 1 / 2

T = 0.5 s

Thus, the period of the wave is 0.5 s
