Question

What is the period of water wave if 4 complete waves pass a fixed point in 10 seconds?

Answer 1

Given:

To complete four waves, time taken is 10 s.

To find the time period of one wave.

Explanation:

The time taken to complete 4 waves is

$4T\text{ = 10}$

The time period will be

$\begin{gathered} T=\text{ }\frac{10}{4} \\ =2.5\text{ s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the time period of one wave is 2.5 s.
