SUMMARY

The wave generator produces 28.6 pulses in 4.10 seconds, resulting in a period of approximately 0.143 seconds. The frequency is calculated as the inverse of the period, yielding a frequency of approximately 6.9756 Hz. The relationship between period and frequency is established through the formula T = 1/f, where T is the period and f is the frequency. This discussion clarifies the calculations for both period and frequency, correcting initial misunderstandings.

PREREQUISITES

1. A wave generator produces 28.6 pulses in 4.10 s.

(a) What is its period?
*solved*
(b) What is its frequency?
*solved*
2.
period= 1/freq.
v=wvlngth (freq)
wvlngth= v/freq
3. i tried to find the number of pulses per second, which I think is 6.9756...
idk what to do from there x.x

Periodic time,T, is the time taken for one pulse.
 
so T= 4.1/28.6?
which would be 0.143...?

LOL i was doing it reversed gosh I am so dumb xD thankss :)

and so its frequency would be 1/0.143. Okay n.n Thanks for straightening me out. :)
