Given a wave f(x, t), we call period T the interval of time we need to wait before the form of the wave is repeated. Obviously, we must choose a constant x and observe the wave passing trough it.
For exemple, for f(x, t) = ei(kx - wt) it's f(x, t + T) = ei(kx - w(t + T)), so that we have 0 = f(x, t + T) - f(x, t) = ei(kx - wt) (e-iwT - 1) → e-iwT = 1 → T = n 2π/w, with n element of Z. If we are considering two near peaks of f (that is a good way to define T) n = 1, and we have the famous T = 2π/w.

How do wave frequency and period of a wave relate?
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
How are frequency and wave period related?
Period = 1 / frequency
What is the period of a wave if the wave has a frequency of 78.6Hz?
Period = 1/78.6 seconds = 0.01272 seconds
How are the period and the frequency of a wave reletated?
The period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. While, the frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.
The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a?
A wave length.
What is the reciprical of the period of a sound wave?
The reciprocal of the period of ANY wave is the wave's frequency.
If a radio wave has a period of 1 us what is the waves period in seconds?
If a radio wave has a period of one then the period wave or two would be 2. This is math.
How do wave frequency and period of a wave relate?
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
What increases when a wave period decreases.?
When a wave period decreases, speed increases.
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
How are frequency and wave period related?
Period = 1 / frequency
Is a period of a wave inversely related to the frequency of the wave?
yes as, period time = 1/ frequency
What is the period of a wave if the wave has a frequency of 78.6Hz?
Period = 1/78.6 seconds = 0.01272 seconds
What will the frequency of a wave do if the period of the wave increases?
If the period increases, the frequency decreases.The product of (frequency) times (period) is always ' 1 '.
How far in terms of wave length does a wave travel in one period?
A wave period is the time for one complete cycle; therefore, a period is the same as one wavelength
