Question

Reciprocal time period is called​

Answer 1

Reciprocal of time period is called frequency.

To properly understand the answer, we have to know more about frequency and time period.

Concept :

1. Frequency : "Frequency can be defined as the total number of waves passing through a fixed point in unit amount of time." (Unit = Hz)
2. Time period : "Time period can be defined as the total time taken for completing one oscillation." (Unit = second)

Mathematical relationship between frequency and time period :

T = 1/f

Where,

• T = Time period
• f = frequency

So, it can be mathematically observed that the frequency is the reciprocal of time period.

Hence, it is found that reciprocal of time period is called frequency and further elaboration has been done in the above mentioned discussion.

Answer 2

Reciprocal time period is called frequency.

Definition of frequency;

Frequency- refers to the number of waves that has passed in a unit time. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Features of frequency;

• Frequency is also called as reciprocal of time within the number of waves.
• The number of cycle and vibrations are counted as frequency.
• The reciprocal of time period refers to the number of oscillation per seconds. It represents the central tendency i.e the mean, mode, an median.
• The sound in mechanical vibrations, audio signals, radio waves, and light are represented and counted with the help of frequency.

Therefore, the reciprocal of time is frequency that represents the number of oscillations, vibrations, and waves.
