Understanding the Relationship
* Frequency (f): The number of wave cycles passing a point per second (measured in Hertz, Hz).
* Period (T): The time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a point (measured in seconds, s).
The Formula
The relationship between frequency and period is:
* T = 1 / f
Calculation
1. Given:
* Speed (v) = 12 m/s
* Frequency (f) = 60 Hz
2. Apply the formula:
* T = 1 / f
* T = 1 / 60 Hz
* T = 0.0167 seconds
Answer: The period of the wave is 0.0167 seconds.
