Mathematically, frequency = (1/Period)
Conceptually, the period is how long it takes a wave to begin repeating itself. For example, if I start a stopwatch when the wave reaches its peak, and then stop timing when it reaches its next peak, the time on the stopwatch is the period.
The frequency is how far the wave gets in 1 second.
Some examples:
If it take a wave 30 seconds to go through one cycle, the period is 30 seconds. In 1 second, it gets only 1/30 of the way through its cycle. Its frequency is 1/30 then.
If a wave repeats itself 10 times in 1 second, its frequency is 10. It's period must be 1/10 of a second.

How are frequency and wave period related?
Period = 1 / frequency
How is frequency related to a period?
Time period = 1 / frequency. Frequency = 1 / time period.Frequency and period are mutual reciprocals.
How are period and frequency related?
I'm pretty sure they're related because the period is the reciprocal of the frequency, and the frequency is the reciprocal of the period...but I'm not sure WHY yet :P hope I could hrlp
What is the frequency of the waves if the waves along the shore are 10 seconds apart?
Frequency = 1/period = 1/10 sec = 0.1 Hz.
How are wave velocity frequency period and wavelength related?
Wave frequency can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave (if we're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum, that would be the speed of light, c) by wavelength.
Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
How do the properties of waves affect the speed frequency and period of waves?
Period = (1) divided by (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (speed)Frequency = (1) divided by (period) = (speed) divided by (period)Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (period)Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) = (speed) times (period)
How is the period related to the frequency of a timer?
Period and frequency are mutual reciprocal. Period = 1/frequency Frequency = 1/period
How are frequency and wave period related?
Period = 1 / frequency
As the frequency of a set of waves increases do the period of each wave decreases?
The frequency and period of a wave are inversely proportional. Therefore, as the frequency increases, the period decreases. frequency = 1/period period = 1/frequency
How are frequency wave period related?
Period = 1 / frequency
How frequency and wave period related?
Period = 1 / frequency
How are frequency and period of wave related?
They are mutual reciprocals. frequency = 1/period period = 1/frequency
If the of waves increase its frequency must decrease?
period
