Finding Frequency Cutoff in a Breadboard Circuit: Tips and Techniques

[Rampart]

Hello there.I have a question about how to find the frequency cutoff in a breadboard with oscilloscope,multimeter etc
Ok the circuit it simple.Ac voltage source in series with a resistor,which is in series with a capacitor.I am given that in the frequence cutoff the voltage of the capacitor is let's say T.
So how to find the cutoff frequency?Here is how i think i should find it.

I connect the function generator to the resistor and capacitor.Now i place the multimeter(measuring voltage) across the capacitor.
I change the frequency,until i see that the multimeter got the known voltage(aka T).Then i connect the multimeter across the capacitor again and i measure the frequency.Then i found the frequency cutoff.

Is this the way it should be done?I thought to use the oscilloscope for the cutoff but i don't think i can do it that way.

Thanks in advance for your time and attention

You should use the oscilloscope for everything.
Start with a low frequency, measure peak-to-peak voltage across capacitor. Increase the frequency slightl y to make sure there is no reduction in voltage. Increase frequency until the voltage is 0.707 of the low-frequency voltage. Measure the frequency on the oscilloscope (f = 1/period).

I see yes.Thit is surely a relief.Your help is truly appreciated!
