Question

suppose that a wave has a period of 0.03 second. whats its frequency? be sure to show the steps for your work.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall frequency-period relation

Frequency $f$ is the reciprocal of period $T$, so $f=\frac{1}{T}$.

Step2: Substitute given period value

Given $T=0.03\ \text{s}$, substitute into the formula:
$f=\frac{1}{0.03}$

Step3: Calculate the result

$f=\frac{100}{3}\approx33.33$

Answer:

The frequency of the wave is approximately $\boldsymbol{33.33\ \text{Hz}}$ (or exactly $\boldsymbol{\frac{100}{3}\ \text{Hz}}$)
