Answer:

0.31s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the ocean waves  = 3.2Hz

Unknown:

Period of the waves  = ?

Solution:

The period of a wave is the inverse of the frequency of a wave;

       Period  = [tex]\frac{1}{Frequency}[/tex]

Now insert the parameters and solve;

       Period  = [tex]\frac{1}{3.2}[/tex]   = 0.31s

The period of the wave is 0.31 s.

The question above can be solved using the relationship between period and frequency (T = 1/F).

Frequency: This can be defined as the number of complete oscillations performed by a wave in one second.

Period: This is the time required by a wave to complete one oscillation.

The relationship between period and frequency

Formula:

T = 1/F....................... Equation 1

Where:

  • T = Period of the wave
  • F = Frequency of the wave

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 3.2 Hz

Substitute this value into equation 1

  • T = 1/3.2
  • T = 0.3125 s
  • T = 0.31 s

Hence, the period of the wave is 0.31 s.
