* Frequency is the number of cycles (vibrations) per second.
* Period is the time it takes for one complete cycle.
The relationship between frequency (f) and period (T) is:
f = 1 / T
In this case:
* Period (T) = 0.5 seconds
Therefore:
* Frequency (f) = 1 / 0.5 s = 2 Hz
The frequency of the waves is 2 Hertz.
