Figure 4.4 shows three wave crests moving to the right. When the crest of wave A passed point P, a watch reads 0.00 seconds. When the crest of wave B passed point P, a watch reads 10.00 seconds.

Answer:

period = 10.00 s, frequency = 0.1 Hz

Explanation:

The period of the wave T, is the time it takes the wave to move between two successive crests. Since wave A passes point P at 0.00 seconds and  wave B passes point P at 10.00 seconds, it completes a cycle of the wave and the period, T is 10.00s - 0.00 s = 10.00 s.

So, the period of the wave is T = 10.00 s

The frequency, f = 1/T = 1/10.00 s = 0.1 Hz
