Find an expression for the period T of a wave in terms of other kinematic variables.

Question

Find an expression for the period TT of a wave in terms of other kinematic variables. Express your answer in terms of any of f, v, ω, and simple constants such as π.

Answer 1

The Period T of a wave can be written in terms of other kinematic variables:

T = 1/f, where f is the frequency

T = 2π/ ω, where ω is the angular frequency

T = λ/v, where λ is the wavelength, and v is the wave velocity
