Frequency  formulaConversion and calculation
Period, cycle duration, periodic time, time T to frequency f,
and frequency f  to cycle duration or period T T = 1 / f and f = 1 / T
hertz to milliseconds and frequency to angular frequency
 
The only kind of periods meant by people who use this phrase are periods of time, so it's a redundancy. Simply say "time" or "period."

Fill out the gray box above and click at the calculation bar of the respective column.

Frequency means oscillations (cycles) per second in Hz = hertz = 1/s.
1 second = 1 s = 1000 ms | 1 ms = 0.001 s | 1 µs = 0.000001 s
cps = cycles per second

Formulas and equations for frequency and wavelength

The formula for frequency is: f (frequency) = 1 / T (period).
f = c / λ = wave speed c (m/s) / wavelength λ (m).
The formula for time is: T (period) = 1 /
f (frequency).
The formula for wavelength is
λ (m) = c / f
λ = c / f = wave speed c (m/s) / frequency f (Hz).

The unit hertz (Hz) was once called cps = cycles per second.

c = λ × f          λ = c / f = c × T          f = c / λ

Differentiate the Speed of the Medium:
Speed of Sound or Speed of Light

Choose: Speed of sound in air at a temperature of 20°C: c = 343 m/s
or speed of radio waves and light in a vacuum: c = 299,792,458 m/s.
 
The propagation speed of electrical signals via optical fiber is about 9/10
the speed of light, that is ≈ 270,000 km/s.
The propagation speed of electrical signals via copper cables is about 2/3
the speed of light, that is ≈ 200,000 km/s.

 
Speed of sound c = 343 m/s also equates to 1235 km/h, 767 mph, 1125 ft/s.

 There are four parts to a wave:
wavelength, period, frequency, and amplitude

Changing the frequency (hertz, Hz) does never change the amplitude and vice versa
 
Sine curve

The Angular Frequency is ω = 2π × f

Given is the equation: y = 50 sin (5000 t)
Determine the frequency and the amplitude.
Answer: The amplitude is 50 and
ω = 5000.
So the frequency is f = 1/T = ω / 2 π = 795.77 Hz.

Sinusoidal curve

Sine wave or sinusoid and the period T

In physics and electrical engineering for the sinusoidal process is often used the
angular frequency ω instead of the frequency
f. The speed or frequency of revolution
is a size at - preferably mechanical - rotating movements indicating the frequency
of revolutions. For example, it is an essential feature for engines. It will be given in
1/min, as revolutions per minute, or as in rpm.

Wavelength and period
 
The y axis shows the sound pressure p (sound pressure amplitude).
If the graph shows at the x axis the time t, we see the period T = 1 / f.
If the graph shows at the x axis the distance d, we see the wavelength λ.
The largest deflection or elongation is referred to as amplitude a.

 
The amplitude has absolutely nothing to do with the frequency ...
also nothing with the wavelength.

 
 
● Wave Graphs ●
 
Waves may be graphed as a function of time or distance. A single frequency
wave will appear as a sine wave (sinosoid) in either case. From the distance
graph the wavelength may be determined. From the time graph, the period
and frequency can be obtained. From both together, the wave speed can be
determined. Source:

Amplitude Time Distance
 
In acoustics an expression for a sine wave is written in the form
y = A sin (2 π f T + φ). Where ω = 2 π f and A is the amplitude and
where
f is the frequency of the wave measured in hertz.
Comparing the mathematical form
y = A sin (B T + φ):
With this acoustical form we see that
| B | = 2 π f. Hence we have
the frequency
f = | B | / 2 π and the period T = 2 π / | B | = 1 / f.

A typical question: What is the relationship between wavelength, temperature, and frequency?

Explain the relationship between distance, time, and frequency in determining
wavelength or: What is the equation with frequency, distance, and time?

Speed = distance / time
Speed = wavelength × frequency
therefore
Wavelength × frequency = distance / time
therefore
Wavelength = distance / (time × frequency)
