To find the time lapse between successive wave crests, also known as the period of the wave, you can use the formula:
\[
T = \frac{1}{f}
\]
where \( T \) is the period (time lapse between successive crests) in seconds, and \( f \) is the frequency in hertz (Hz).
Given that the frequency \( f \) is 336 Hz, you can calculate the period:
\[
T = \frac{1}{336 \, \text{Hz}} \approx 0.002976 \, \text{s}
\]
To express this in a more understandable format, convert it to milliseconds:
\[
T \approx 2.976 \, \text{ms}
\]
Thus, the time lapse between successive wave crests is approximately **2.976 milliseconds**.
