Answer:
T = 0.96 seconds
Explanation:
Given that,
The speed of wave, v = 2.6 m/s
The distance between wave crests, [tex]\lambda=2.5\ m[/tex]
We need to find the period of the wave motion. Let T be the period. So,
[tex]v=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\T=\dfrac{\lambda}{v}\\\\T=\dfrac{2.5}{2.6}\\\\T=0.96\ s[/tex]
So, the period of the wave motion is equal to 0.96 seconds.
The period of the wave motion is 0.96 seconds. Using the formula:
v = λ / T
where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and T is the period of the wave.
Given that v = 2.60 m/s, λ = 2.5 m, hence:
2.6 = 2.5/T
T = 0.96 s
The period of the wave motion is 0.96 seconds.
