What is the relationship between wave frequency and period? What is the period, in seconds, that corresponds to each of the following frequencies: (a) 10 Hz, (b) 0.2 Hz, (c) 60 Hz?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Wave frequency and period are reciprocals of each other: That is, f = 1/T and T = 1/f, where f is frequency and period is T. So for the three given frequencies, (a) T = 1/f = 1/(10 Hz) = 0.10 s, (b) T = 1/f = 1/(0.2 Hz) = 5 s, (c) T = 1/f = 1/(60 Hz) = 0.167 s.
