|
Frequency definition |
Number of complete cycles per unit in time(usually 1 second). |
|
|
|

|
|
Formula of frequency |
f = N/t |
|
|
|
Variables of frequency and units for it |
f for frequency (s-1 or Hz) t for total time for N cycles (s)(d) or (yr) N is number of cycles |
1 unit for each variable |
|
|
Period formula |
T = t/N |
|
|
|
Variables of period and units for it |
T is time required for one cycle (s) N is total number of cycles t is total time for N cycles (s) |

|
|
Wave speed (v) |
Rate at which a wave travels through a medium. Also how fast the energy moves. |
|
|
|
Wave speed formula and unit for it |
V = wavelength(m)/T(s) (m/s) |
|
|
|
