The period of a wave is the time it takes for one complete cycle or pulse to occur. In this case, six pulses are generated every 0.200 seconds. To find the period, we divide the total time by the number of pulses:

Period = Total time / Number of pulses

Period = 0.200 seconds / 6 pulses

Period ≈ 0.0333 seconds per pulse

The frequency of a wave is the number of cycles or pulses that occur in one second. It is the reciprocal of the period:

Frequency = 1 / Period

Frequency ≈ 1 / 0.0333 seconds per pulse

Frequency ≈ 30 pulses per second

So, the period of the wave is approximately 0.0333 seconds per pulse, and the frequency of the wave is approximately 30 pulses per second.
