Accepted Answer

Answer : Time period will be 0.5 seconds.Explanation : We can use the formula as;f = c / λf = wave speed c (units m/s) / wavelength λ (units m). Here, c = 40 and λ = 20;f = 40 / 20 = 2 HzThe formula for finding time period is: [tex] T (period) = \frac{1}{f} [/tex] where f = frequencyWe have, f = 2 Hz;[tex] T (period)= \frac{1}{2} [/tex] = 0.5 second.Therefore, time period will be 0.5 seconds.

Suggested Answer

The frequency is    (40) / (20 seconds) = 2 per second = 2 Hz.The period is  1/(frequency)  =  1 / (2 per second)  =  1/2 second .
