Using the information provided, calculate the period of the wave:

Question

A transverse wave with an amplitude of 0.20 meter and wavelength of 3.0 meters travels toward the right in a medium with a speed of 4.0 meters per second.

Using the information provided, calculate the period of the wave. Show all work.

Answer 1

T = period

 

λ/T = v ⇒

 

T = λ/v = (3.0 m)/(4.0 m/s) = 0.75 s
