Calculation

f = 1/T

High frequency means short period; the quantities are reciprocals.

Understand the inputs
  • Frequency fComplete cycles per second.
  • Period TTime for one complete cycle.
Example

A 0.5 s period corresponds to 2 Hz.

Assumptions and limits

Periodic process with constant frequency.
