Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between the frequency and the period of a wave? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what frequency means. Frequency (f) is how many times a wave repeats in one second.
  • Step 2: Understand what period means. The period (T) is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a point.
  • Step 3: Know the relationship. The period is the opposite of frequency. If you know the frequency, you can find the period.
  • Step 4: Use the formula. The formula to find the period from frequency is T = 1/f.
  • Step 5: Example. If the frequency is 2 Hz (2 waves per second), then the period is T = 1/2 = 0.5 seconds.
