How to Calculate Period and Frequency?

The formula for the period is T = 1 / f, where ‘T’ is the period or the time that it takes for one cycle to finish, and ‘f’ represents frequency.

The period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of a waveform to pass a given point, measured in seconds. Frequency, on the other hand, is the number of cycles of a waveform that occur in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz). To calculate period from frequency, first convert the frequency from Hertz to 1/s.

1 Hz = 1/s

Calculate Period from Frequency

Frequency and period are inversely related. The frequency is the reciprocal of the period, and vice versa

f = 1/T

The Formula of Period

To calculate the period, measure the time duration between two consecutive points that correspond to the same phase of the waveform (e.g., peaks or zero crossings). The period is the time interval required for the waveform to repeat itself.

T = Time Taken for One Complete Cycle/Number of Cycles
