A sea wave propagates with a speed of 12 cm/s and a length of 0.4 meters,find its period.A:0,1 minB:10sC:1sD:3,33s

Respuesta :

Given:

The speed of the wave is v = 12 cm/s = 0.12 m/s

The wavelength of the wave is

[tex]\lambda\text{ = 0.4 m}[/tex]

To find the period.

Explanation:

The time period can be calculated by the formula

[tex]T=\frac{\lambda}{v}[/tex]

On substituting the values, the time period will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} T=\frac{0.4}{0.12} \\ =3.33\text{ s} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the time period of the sea wave is 3.33 s
