Understanding the Relationship
* Frequency (f): The number of wave cycles that occur in one 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: Frequency (f) = 16.1 Hz
2. Substitute: T = 1 / 16.1 Hz
3. Calculate: T ≈ 0.062 seconds
Answer: The period of the wave is approximately 0.062 seconds.
