Another Anaylse Wave Graphs QUESTION T_T

The graphs shwo the positions of the same wave 0.2m apart. Analyse them to calculate the maximum possible period for the wave.

NOTE: That's the full question. No extra data of info given

My question is how to work it out!

ANSWER = 0.27s

My question is how to work it out!

ANSWER = 0.27s

about 3/4 of a period passes in 0.2s

therefore the whole period is approx 0.2/3 x 4

= 0.8/3
=0.2666...

But looking at it, slightly over 3/4 of a period passess in 0.2s, so it would be just over 0.2666..., and if you measured it accurately i'm sure the math would work out to 0.27s


EDIT: It's okay, you can tell me i'm smart.
