Question

During one-half of period, the distance traveled by a wave is

Question options:

	one-half wavelength.
	two wavelength.
	more information is needed
	one wavelength.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Scenario- A distance traversed by wave in one complete period is called wavelength.

Step 2

For a wave having wavelength $λ m$ ,and time $T s$ ,

Velocity $\to v = \frac{λ}{T} . . . (1)$

Now for half of period,

$\begin{array}{rcl} \to & v = \frac{λ^{'}}{\frac{T}{2}} \end{array} = \frac{1}{2} v = \begin{array}{rcl} λ \end{array} \begin{array}{rcl} \end{array}$ ^'T ...2
