Question

A wave has a frequency of 723 Hz. what is its period?

Answer 1

Given:

The frequency of the wave, f=723 Hz.

To find:

The period of the wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of a wave is the number of the waves that pass through a point per second.

The period of a wave is the time it takes for the wave to complete one cycle.

The period of a wave is given by the inverse of its frequency.

Thus the period of the wave is given by,

`T=(1)/(f)`

On substituting the known value in the above equation,

`\begin{gathered} T=(1)/(723) \\ =1.38*10^(-3)\text{ s} \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

The period of the wave is 1.38×10⁻³ s.
