The period is 4 [insert units here]. To get to this answer you use the equation v= λ*ƒ which basically means velocity is equal to lambda (wavelength) times frequency. Next you insert the speed where velocity is then you insert the wavelength and try to find the frequency. Once you get the frequency which should be 1/4 Hz then you use the proportion: period ~ 1/frequency and then you know that the period is 4.

What is the frequency of a wave if it has a wavelength of 2 m and a wave speed of 20 meters per second?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 20/2 = 10 Hz
If a wave has amplitude of 2 meters a wavelength of 2 meters and a frequency of 10 Hz and a period of 1 second then at what speed is the wave moving?
speed = distance over time = wavelength times frequency = 2 m times 10 hz = 20 m hz = 20 meters per second.
A wave has frequency of 50 Hz what is the period of the wave?
Period = reciprocal of frequency ( 1 / frequency ) = 1/50 = 0.02 second = 20 milliseconds
What is the period of a wave traveling 5 ms if its wavelength is 20 m?
20/5 = 4 seconds
What is the wavelength of 20 Hz?
need to know the speed of the wave at the speed of light 300,000,000 m/s 300,000,000 / 20 = 15,000,000 metres at the speed of sound 333 m/s 333 / 20 = 16.67 metres
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength 20 cm and a period of 0.5 s?
40 Hz
If a wave has frequency of 20 Hz what is the period of the wave?
.05 seconds
What is the frequency of a wave if it has a wavelength of 2 m and a wave speed of 20 meters per second?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 20/2 = 10 Hz
If a wave has amplitude of 2 meters a wavelength of 2 meters and a frequency of 10 Hz and a period of 1 second then at what speed is the wave moving?
speed = distance over time = wavelength times frequency = 2 m times 10 hz = 20 m hz = 20 meters per second.
What is the frequencey of a wave with the speed of 10 and wavelength 20?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 10/20 = 1/2
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 10 m and a frequency of 34 hz?
340 m/s
A wave has frequency of 50 Hz what is the period of the wave?
Period = reciprocal of frequency ( 1 / frequency ) = 1/50 = 0.02 second = 20 milliseconds
What is the period of a wave traveling 5 ms if its wavelength is 20 m?
20/5 = 4 seconds
What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 50Hz and a wavelength of 20 meters?
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (50) x (20) = 1,000 meters.
What is the period of a wave traviling 5 ms it its wavelength is 20 m?
If a wave is traveling at 5 meters per second (assuming that is what the question meant) and its wavelength is 20 meters, consider standing beside the wave and watching it pass. As the wave is 20 meters long and it is moving at 5 meters per second, it will take 4 seconds for the full cycle of the wave to pass an observer. That means its frequency is one cycle per 4 seconds. And - surprise! - that's the period of the wave. The period of the wave is 4 seconds.
What was the Wave Speed of the 1964 Alaska Tsunami?
20 miles per hour
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a period of 0.5 s?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
