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
