I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to provide videos. However, I can explain the concepts of wavelength and period of a longitudinal wave to you.
A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Sound waves are an example of longitudinal waves.
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase with each other. In a longitudinal wave, this can be measured as the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions. Compressions are regions where the particles of the medium are close together, while rarefactions are regions where the particles are spread apart. The wavelength is usually represented by the symbol λ (lambda) and is measured in meters.
Period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave to pass a given point. In other words, it is the time it takes for two consecutive points in a wave to be in phase with each other again. The period is usually represented by the symbol T and is measured in seconds.
The relationship between wavelength and period can be described by the wave speed equation: wave speed (v) = wavelength (λ) / period (T). This equation states that the wave speed is equal to the wavelength divided by the period.
To better understand these concepts, I recommend searching for educational videos on platforms like YouTube that explain longitudinal waves, wavelength, and period.
