Calculate Period (P)

Formula

The formula to calculate the period (P) is:

\[ P = \frac{1}{f} \]

What is a Period?

The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of a repeating event. It is the inverse of the frequency, which is the number of cycles that occur per unit of time. The period is typically measured in seconds, and it is a crucial concept in various fields such as physics, engineering, and music.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the period:

\[ P = \frac{1}{50} = 0.02 \text{ seconds} \]

This means that the period for this example is 0.02 seconds.
