Frequency and Period Formula (T = 1/f)
T = 1 / f
What it means
Period and frequency are reciprocals: the period is the time for one cycle, the frequency is cycles per second.
Variables
| Symbol | Quantity | SI unit |
|---|---|---|
T | period | s |
f | frequency | Hz |
Worked example
Given f = 50 Hz, solve for T:
T = 0.02 s
