Q. In a sinusoidal wave, the time required for a particular point to move from maximum displacement to zero displacement is 0.170s. The frequency of the wave is
Understand relationship: Step 1: Understand the relationship between the time period and frequency.The time given (0.170 second) is half the period of the wave, since it's only from maximum to zero displacement. To find the full period (T), we need to double this time.Calculation: T=2×0.170=0.34 seconds.
Calculate period: Step 2: Calculate the frequency using the period.Frequency f is the reciprocal of the period T. So, f=T1.Calculation: f=0.341≈2.94Hz.
