    The period of the wave is the time taken for an oscillation to occur.

    The period of the wave can be found by dividing time by the number of oscillations.

    The period of the wave is (2s) / (10 oscillations)

    2/10 = 0.2 seconds

    The correct answer is 0.2 seconds.

    The wave makes or completes one oscillation in 0.2 seconds.
