The inverse of frequency is the period, which is the distance between two consecutive crests. If you are given frequency (f), period = 1/f

How are frequency and wave period related?

Period = 1 / frequency


What is the inverse period of a wave called?

I think it's frequency.


How are wave frequency and the period related?

They are inverses. Seconds and Hertz are inverse units.


When wave with a frequency of 10 hertz moves at 360 ms what is the period of the wave?

If you mean a wave that has a frequency of 10 hz at 360 m/s, then the answer is 1/36 of a second. The period is the inverse of the wavelength and the wavelength is equal to the wave speed divided y the frequency. 360/10=36 and the inverse of 36 is 1/36.


What is the unit of measurement of EM wave frequency?

Seconds for wavelength, and inverse seconds for frequency also known as hertz. Hz


A wave's period and its frequency have a relationship.?

The period of a wave is the time it takes for one complete cycle to occur, while the frequency is the number of cycles that occur in one second. The relationship between period and frequency is inverse, meaning that as the period increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This can be mathematically demonstrated by the equation: frequency = 1/period.


If the wave has a wavelength of 0.34m and frequency 0.75s what is the speed of the wave?

0.453 metres per second, that is if the provided frequency was given in period (0.75seconds) therefore the inverse is 1.33 hertz...


The wave equation says that a waves speed is equal to its time its frequency?

The speed or velocity of a wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency. The period (amount of time for one wavelength to occur) is equal to 1 over the frequency (the inverse of its frequency).


If the period of a wave decreases its frequency must?

Period and frequency are inverse to each other, as period increases frequency decreases. So, to answer this question as the period of the wave decreases its frequency must increase.


The pitch of a sound wave is its wavelength?

Kind of. The pitch of a sound wave is its frequency, and because frequency = 1 / wavelength its pitch is related to the wave length. So to answer, no, the pitch of sound is not the wavelength itself, rather it is the inverse of the wavelength ( 1/wavelength)falseACJM


How does the frequency of a water wave change as its wavelength changes?

With a water wave, an increase in the length of the wavelength will result in a decrease in the frequency of the wave. We could say that there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and the wavelength. As one increases, the other decreases, and as one decreases, the other increases.


If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?

Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.
