Time Period given Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Time Period of Progressive Wave = Wavelength/Velocity of Wave
T_W = λ/V_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Time Period of Progressive Wave - (Measured in Second) - Time Period of Progressive Wave is the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation or cycle.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave, representing the length of one complete cycle of the wave.
Velocity of Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Wave is the speed at which a wave propagates through a medium, characterizing how quickly the disturbance travels from one point to another in a wave pattern.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wavelength: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity of Wave: 61 Meter per Second --> 61 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_W = λ/V_w --> 0.4/61

Evaluating ... ...

T_W = 0.00655737704918033

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00655737704918033 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00655737704918033 ≈ 0.006557 Second <-- Time Period of Progressive Wave
