The symbol for representing the period of a wave is the greek letter lambda (λ).
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
Period = 1 / frequency
Period = 1/78.6 seconds = 0.01272 seconds
T
The symbol for representing the period of a wave is the greek letter lambda (λ).
The mathematical symbol for period is a Capital T with short legs on either side of the horizontal line. This symbol is most often used when finding frequency through 1/period or using frequency to find the period of a wave in the equation Period =1/ frequency T
The label of the period of a wave is the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to occur. It is typically denoted by the symbol "T" and is measured in seconds.
The symbol used is usually t, for time. The SI unit for time is a second, so s may also be used.I also think that freq. as for frequency and any of the mathematical notations for time, minute, second, etc. hertz is a term for frequency which was once universally cycle or kilocycle, megacycle now referred to a kilohertz, megahertz, etc.So time would be notated according to the theory being used. Radio frequencies, pulse frequencies, data frequencies...

a sine wave (~)
The term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certain point is called the "period" of the wave. It is usually denoted by the symbol T and is measured in seconds per wave cycle.
Seconds
The unit used to measure period is the second (s). It represents the time taken for one complete cycle of a periodic wave, such as a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
The time it takes for a sine wave to complete one cycle is called the period. It is typically denoted by the symbol T and is the inverse of the frequency of the wave.
A wave length.
