Question: 96
6. If the speed of a wave is 
and its wavelength is 10 cm, what is its period?
- A. 0.01 s
- B. 0.03 s
- C. 0.1 s
- D. 0.3 s
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
This question is testing our understanding of traveling waves. We know that frequency and wavelength are related through the equation ν = fλ. Frequency and period are inverses of each other, so this equation could be rearranged to solve for period:
