Detailed explanation-1: -The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The time taken to complete a wave is termed as period which can be written as T=f1 T= time period; f= frequency.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wave Period: The time it takes for two successive crests (one wavelength) to pass a specified point. The wave period is often referenced in seconds, e.g. one wave every 6 seconds. Fetch: The uninterrupted area or distance over which the wind blows (in the same direction).
Detailed explanation-4: -One oscillation of a wave is known to be one cycle of the wave. Oscillation can also be defined as a periodic variation of a matter between two values or about its central value.
