Understanding Frequency and Period

Frequency (\(f\)) and Period (\(T\)) are inversely related to each other. These two properties are crucial for understanding oscillatory phenomena like waveforms, sound, and signals. This calculator helps you compute:

• Frequency (\(f\)) from Period (\(T\))
• Period (\(T\)) from Frequency (\(f\))

Formulas:

1. Frequency to Period: \[ T = \frac{1}{f} \] 2. Period to Frequency: \[ f = \frac{1}{T} \]

Example Calculations

Example 1: Frequency to Period

Given: Frequency = 500 Hz (Hertz)

Calculation: \[ T = \frac{1}{500} = 0.002 \, \text{s} = 2 \, \text{ms} \]

Result: Period = 2 ms (Milliseconds)

Example 2: Period to Frequency

Given: Period = 20 µs (Microseconds)

Calculation: \[ f = \frac{1}{20 \times 10^{-6}} = 50,000 \, \text{Hz} = 50 \, \text{kHz} \]

Result: Frequency = 50 kHz (Kilohertz)
