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

The length of time between a point in one cycle and the same point in the next cycle of an ac wave is the?

this is called time period of the wave. it is also the inverse of frequency of wave.


What is AC periodic 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.


What is the function of a capacitor in the half wave rectification?

to smooth the output of the half-wave rectifier from 1/2 an AC cycle per period to a constant voltage.


The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a?

A wave length.


Is IC555 is an ac device or dc device?

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.


What is the reciprical of the period of a sound wave?

The reciprocal of the period of ANY wave is the wave's frequency.


Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?

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.


How do you find wave period with wavelength and wave speed?

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.


Is AC a wave or a wave form?

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.


How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?

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.


What increases when a wave period decreases.?

When a wave period decreases, speed increases.


How do wave frequency and period of a wave relate?

Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
