Wave Crest Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Crest Period = Record Length/Number of Crests
T_c = T_r/N_c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Crest Period - (Measured in Second) - Wave Crest Period also known as wave period or wave frequency, is a measure of the time it takes for one full wave cycle to pass a fixed point.
Record Length - (Measured in Second) - Record Length typically refers to the length of time over which data is collected or analyzed.
Number of Crests - The Number of Crests typically refers to the count of wave peaks in a wave pattern.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Record Length: 70 Second --> 70 Second No Conversion Required
Number of Crests: 18 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_c = T_r/N_c --> 70/18

Evaluating ... ...

T_c = 3.88888888888889

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.88888888888889 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.88888888888889 ≈ 3.888889 Second <-- Wave Crest Period

What are the characteristics of progressive waves?

A progressive wave is formed due to continuous vibration of the particles of the medium.
The wave travels with a certain velocity.
There is a flow of energy in the direction of the wave.
No particles in the medium are at rest.
The amplitude of all the particles is the same.
