Frequency Vs Period Math
Period is the seconds cycle.
Frequency vs period math. If the woodpecker drums upon a tree 2 times in one second then the frequency is 2 hz. Frequency 1 period. Frequency is usually measured in hertz hz and period is measured in seconds. What is the difference between frequency and period.
There for period decreases when the frequency increases. Both are inversely proportional to each other which means if the frequency is higher then the period is lower and vice versa. Frequency is most often measured in units of cycles per second cps which are also called hertz hz. Frequency is the cycles second.
Whereas the period is the time an object takes to go around in a circle the frequency is the number of circles the object makes per unit of time. As an example of the distinction and the relatedness of frequency and period consider a woodpecker that drums upon a tree at a periodic rate. Frequency is denoted by the letter f and period is denoted by t. Period is the time taken for two similar events to occur and frequency is the number of similar occurrences within a second.
Period is a time quantity. Frequency and period is related to each other by the equation f 1 t. In fact the period and frequency are related.
