a wave has a frequency of 2 Hz. find its period ?

please show work.....

P = 1/f or, in words,

Period (in seconds) = 1/Frequency (in Hz)

If there are two cycles per second, each one takes 1/2 second. That is the period.

Ignore Nav's answer

1/2 does not equal 2

yea....i messed up, i meant 1/2, my bad

To find the period of a wave, you need to use the formula:

Period (T) = 1 / Frequency (f)

Given that the frequency (f) of the wave is 2 Hz, we can substitute this value into the formula:

T = 1 / 2

To simplify, you can express 1 as 1/1:

T = 1/1 / 2

Now, when you divide a fraction by a whole number, you multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

T = 1/1 * 1/2

Multiplying the numerators and denominators gives us:

T = 1/2

So, the period of the wave with a frequency of 2 Hz is 1/2 seconds or 0.5 seconds.

The period of a wave, T, is equal to 1/f. So, T = 2 seconds
