Understanding Frequency and Period

* Frequency (f): The number of complete vibrations (cycles) per second. Measured in Hertz (Hz).

* Period (T): The time it takes for one complete vibration (cycle). Measured in seconds (s).

Relationship

Frequency and period are inversely proportional:

* T = 1 / f

Calculation

1. Given: Frequency (f) = 30 Hz

2. Formula: T = 1 / f

3. Substitute: T = 1 / 30 Hz

4. Result: T = 0.0333 seconds (approximately)

Therefore, the period of the vibrating string is approximately 0.0333 seconds.
