    2 Hertz

    Explanation:

    The frequency would be 2 Hertz.

    The frequency of a wave is defined as the rate at which the particles of a medium vibrates when the wave is passed through it while the period of a wave is the time it takes the particles to make a complete cycle of vibration.

    The frequency of a wave is inversely related to its period and is defined by the following equation:

    f = 1/t, where f is the frequency (in hertz) and t is the period (in seconds).

    Hence, if the period of a ripple is 1/2 or 0.5 seconds, the frequency becomes;

    f = 1/0.5 = 2 Hertz
