### Physics Problem

**Question 4: If the frequency of a wave traveling at 150 m/s is 10 Hz, what would be its period? Show your work for full credit.**

#### Work Space:

There is a provided space for students to show their work and calculate the period of the wave based on the given frequency.

**Hint:** Use the relationship between frequency (f) and period (T):

\[ \text{Frequency (f)} = \frac{1}{\text{Period (T)}} \]

Therefore, 

\[ \text{Period (T)} = \frac{1}{\text{Frequency (f)}} \]

Given: 
- Frequency (f) = 10 Hz

Calculate the period:

\[ \text{T} = \frac{1}{10 \text{ Hz}} \]
\[ \text{T} = 0.1 \text{ seconds} \]

Thus, the period of the wave is 0.1 seconds.

Note: The speed of the wave (150 m/s) is provided, but is not needed to calculate the period from the frequency.
