#(2pi)/3#

Explanation:

The most generic sinusoidal function you can have is

#Asin(\omega x + \phi) +b#

  • #A# would affect the amplitude (vertical stretch)
  • #w# affects the period (horizontal stretch)
  • #\phi# and #b# would translate the function, horizontally and vertically (resp.)

Specifically, #\omega# affects the period in this way: you have

#T = (2pi)/3#

hence the answer.
