The frequency is proportional to the reciprocal of the period and vice versa. Generally this proportion is 2*pi*f = 1/t and t = 1/(2*pi*f) where the frequency is f and the period is t.

Period = 1 / frequency
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
They are inverses. Seconds and Hertz are inverse units.
frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength) frequency = 1/(period)
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.
