Study Notes
Wave Period Calculation
- Wave period (T) is the time it takes for one complete wave cycle.
- It's measured in seconds (s).
- Frequency (f) is the number of wave cycles per second.
- It's measured in Hertz (Hz).
- The formula to calculate wave period is: T = 1/f
- If a wave has a frequency of 5 Hz, its period is 0.2 seconds.
