To find the frequency of the waves, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Frequency (f)} = \frac{1}{\text{Period (T)}}
\]
In this case, the rope vibrates every 0.5 seconds, which means the period (T) is 0.5 s.
Now, plug the period into the formula:
\[
f = \frac{1}{0.5 \text{ s}} = 2 \text{ Hz}
\]
So, the frequency of the waves is **2 Hz**.
\[
\text{Frequency (f)} = \frac{1}{\text{Period (T)}}
\]
In this case, the rope vibrates every 0.5 seconds, which means the period (T) is 0.5 s.
Now, plug the period into the formula:
\[
f = \frac{1}{0.5 \text{ s}} = 2 \text{ Hz}
\]
So, the frequency of the waves is **2 Hz**.
