Lighthouses are towers with a light beacon on top. Lighthouses assist sea ships in finding their way at night when they are sailing close to the shore. A lighthouse beacon sends out light flashes with a regular fixed pattern. Every lighthouse has its own pattern. In the diagram below you see the pattern of a certain lighthouse. The light flashes alternate with dark periods.
Note:
It is a regular pattern. After some time the pattern repeats itself. The time taken by one complete cycle of a pattern, before it starts to repeat, is called the period. When you find the period of a pattern, it is easy to extend the diagram for the next seconds or minutes or even hours.
Which of the following could be the period of the pattern of this lighthouse?
