We know that Period of a wave is the inverse of its Frequency

So, Period = 1 / Frequency

From the above, we can say that Period is inversely proportional to Frequency and hence, any change in Frequency will be the inverse change in the period

Therefore, we can say that if the frequency is increased by 5 times, the period will increase by 1/5 times
