Question

If the period of a given wave is 6 seconds, what is the frequency of the wave?

A. 17 Hz
B. 0.17 Hz
C. 0.017 Hz
D. 1.7 Hz

Answer 1

`\text{B. }0.17\:\mathrm{Hz}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of a wave is given by
`f=(1)/(t)`, where
`t` is the period of the wave.

Substituting
`t=6`, we get:

`f=(1)/(6)\approx \boxed{\text{B. }0.17\:\mathrm{Hz}}`
