Question

The frequency of a sine wave is defined as:

a.the number of cycles per second

b.the maximum amplitude of the wave

c.the time for one cycle

d.the difference between the high frequency and the low frequency

Answer 1

a.the number of cycles per second

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of a sine wave is defined as the number of cycles per second.

Frequency is the inverse of the time period. The frequency of a sine wave is given by 1/TimePeriod . It is generally expressed in units of Hertz(Hz) or sec^-1. Larger the time period, lower will be the frequency and vice versa. So for higher frequency waves we need to ensure that the time period is small.
