f = frequency = number of waves produced by a source per second, in hertz Hz. T = period = time it takes for one complete vibration or oscillation, in seconds s. A boat at sea bobs up and down as ...
A frequency of 440 Hz means that the prongs of the tuning fork vibrate 440 times every second. \(\text{period T =}~\frac{\text{1}}{\text{f}}\) \(\text{period T ...
