11 Ιαν 2024 · period (or frequency) – The period of the wave is determined by how long it takes the wave's generator to complete a full cycle. The wave's frequency will exactly mimic the frequency at which it is driven.
The period describes the time it takes for a particle to complete one cycle of vibration. The frequency describes how often particles vibration - i.e., the number of complete vibrations per second. These two quantities - frequency and period - are mathematical reciprocals of one another.
Wavelength is the distance between the same spot on two sections of a wave. A wave’s frequency can be measured by how many crests (or how many troughs) pass a location in a certain amount of time. A wave with a larger frequency has more energy. If a wave’s frequency doubles, its energy also doubles.
period = the time for one full cycle to complete itself; i.e., seconds/cycle; frequency = the number of cycles that are completed per time; i.e., cycles/second; Even the definitions have a reciprocal ring to them. To understand the distinction between period and frequency, consider the following statement: According to Wikipedia (and as of this ...

An alternative way of measuring the temporal feature of the wave is the rate at which medium displacements repeat, called frequency. Frequency is measured in units of cycles per second, a unit known as hertz ( Hz ).
