period is the time duration of one cycle of the waveform, and is measured in seconds/cycle. AC power at 50 Hz will have a period of 1/50 = 0.02 seconds/cycle. A 60 Hz power system has a period of 1/60 = 0.016667 seconds/cycle
this is called time period of the wave. it is also the inverse of frequency of wave.
to smooth the output of the half-wave rectifier from 1/2 an AC cycle per period to a constant voltage.
Sine wave
mainly AC but can be DC if done correctly
a sine wave (~)
this is called time period of the wave. it is also the inverse of frequency of wave.
An AC periodic wave refers to an alternating current waveform that repeatedly varies with time, switching direction at regular intervals. This type of wave is commonly used in electrical systems to generate power and transmit signals. AC periodic waves are defined by their amplitude, frequency, and phase characteristics.

A wave length.
it is DC powered, but can generate sawtooth or triangular wave AC if wired up properly. it cannot generate sine wave AC, although with an opamp wave shaping circuit the triangular AC waveform can be reshaped to a rough approximation of a sine wave.
The reciprocal of the period of ANY wave is the wave's frequency.
If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.
Wave period can be found by dividing the wavelength by the wave speed. The formula is: Period = Wavelength / Wave Speed. The period represents the time it takes for one wave cycle to pass a given point.
AC stands for "alternating current," which is a type of electrical current that periodically changes direction. It is not a wave but can be represented by a waveform, which shows how the voltage or current changes over time in a repetitive manner. So, AC is not a wave itself, but it produces a waveform when graphed.
Wave speed is dependent on both wavelength and period. The relationship is described by the formula: wave speed = wavelength / period. As wavelength increases, wave speed also increases. Conversely, as period increases, wave speed decreases.
When a wave period decreases, speed increases.
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
