If the frequency of a transducer is 5MHz, what is the period?
T = 1/f
so would it be 0.2 microseconds? I just want to make sure I am understanding it correctly, with the correct units, thanks
yes
2 *10^-7 = .2 * 10^-6
To find the period of a wave, we can use the formula:
Period (T) = 1 / Frequency (f)
Given that the frequency of the transducer is 5 MHz, we can substitute it into the formula to find the period.
Period (T) = 1 / 5 MHz
Now, let's convert the frequency from MHz to Hz. Since 1 MHz is equal to 1,000,000 Hz, we have:
Period (T) = 1 / (5 * 1,000,000 Hz)
Simplifying further, we get:
Period (T) = 1 / 5,000,000 Hz
Therefore, the period of the transducer is 1 / 5,000,000 seconds.
