Gotta formula??

eric_d · Answer

$$v=f \lambda $$
$$T=1/f$$
This might be helpful...

Eric, has provided the formula. Plug it in and then just like tell me what you have. Sorry, i have to go offline now. I will definitely respond to your answer later. I won't be able to repond immediately, but will answer. Good Luck with pluging it in and responding. !:D

@Abhisar  can you help me im a little lost

anonymous · Answer

We see from the formula,
Velocity = Frequency x wavelength

anonymous · Answer

You will need to find other relationships for period that relate it to the frequency and wavelength.

anonymous · Answer

The frequency of a wave is related to the period of the way in this manner, $$frequency = \frac{ 1 }{ T }$$ Where T = period in seconds so to find the Frequency you will need to substitute for T and solve.

anonymous · Answer

You know that your period = 3.0s = T so you can find the frequency by plugging it into the formula.

anonymous · Answer

So the period is the time?

anonymous · Answer

The period is the T in the frequency formula.

anonymous · Answer

You need to plug it into that and solve

anonymous · Answer

Okay so I got 0.333...

anonymous · Answer

Correct
