The formula to calculate the period from Hz is:
\[ \text{T} = \frac{1}{f} \]
Where:
Hz, or Hertz, is a unit of frequency that measures the number of cycles per second. The period, on the other hand, is the time it takes for one cycle to complete. Therefore, Hz to period is a conversion from frequency to time. It is calculated by taking the reciprocal of the frequency. For example, if a wave has a frequency of 2 Hz, its period would be 1/2, or 0.5 seconds. This means that one cycle of the wave is completed every 0.5 seconds.
Let's assume the following value:
Step 1: Take the reciprocal of the frequency:
\[ \text{T} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \text{ seconds} \]
Therefore, the period is 0.5 seconds.
Let's assume the following value:
Step 1: Take the reciprocal of the frequency:
\[ \text{T} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \text{ seconds} \]
Therefore, the period is 0.2 seconds.
