Write the definition of the time period of a wave.
(N/A) The time period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a particle of the medium to complete one full oscillation or vibration as the wave passes through it.
Alternatively,it is the time taken by the wave to travel a distance equal to one wavelength $(\lambda)$.
It is denoted by the symbol $T$ and its $SI$ unit is the second $(s)$.
