The inverse of frequency is the period, which is the distance between two consecutive crests. If you are given frequency (f), period = 1/f

What is the inverse period of a wave called?

I think it's frequency.


What period of a wave can be directly calculated from which?

The period of a wave can be directly calculated from the frequency of the wave. The period is the inverse of frequency (T = 1/f), where T is the period in seconds and f is the frequency in hertz.


If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?

Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.


If the period of a wave decreases its frequency must?

Period and frequency are inverse to each other, as period increases frequency decreases. So, to answer this question as the period of the wave decreases its frequency must increase.


How are wave frequency and the period related?

They are inverses. Seconds and Hertz are inverse units.


When wave with a frequency of 10 hertz moves at 360 ms what is the period of the wave?

If you mean a wave that has a frequency of 10 hz at 360 m/s, then the answer is 1/36 of a second. The period is the inverse of the wavelength and the wavelength is equal to the wave speed divided y the frequency. 360/10=36 and the inverse of 36 is 1/36.


If the frequency of a wave increases what does that do to waves wavelenght?

If the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because there is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength in a wave - as one goes up, the other goes down.


What is the period of the wave motion for a wave with a frequency of 0.50 kHz?

Period = reciprocal of frequency = 1 / (500) = 0.002 second


What is reciprocal of frequency?

The reciprocal of frequency is the time period of the wave


What A wave has a frequency of 250 hertz What is the period of the wave?

The period of a wave can be calculated as the inverse of its frequency. In this case, the period would be 1/250 seconds, which is equal to 0.004 seconds.


How the frenquency of a wave changes when a period of the wave increases?

The frequency of a wave decreases when its period increases. The frequency (f) of a wave is the number of cycles (or vibrations or oscillations) per unit time. The SI units of frequency is the inverse seconds or hertz (Hz). The period (T) of a wave is the time it takes to complete a cycle. The frequency and period have the following relationship: frequency= 1/period f= 1/T so if the period increases, the frequency decreases.
