Period
Frequency can be applied to any kind of motion that is repetitive. It answers the question; "how frequent does the cycle repeat itself?" Then it is expressed by counting how often the motion repeats in a certain amount of time and dividing that count by the time. For example if 12 complete waves (or cycles) pass a point in 6 seconds then the frequency is 12/6 = 2 cycles/sec. The unit of 1 cycle/sec is called a Hertz so the frequency would also be expressed as 2 Hertz or 2 Hz.

We clearly heard you say "one complete cycle every 2 seconds". That means that the period is 2 seconds. No calculation or arithmetic of any kind is needed.
