The formula for frequency is: frequency = 1 / T, where T = Period. That is e.g. "cycles per second".

The formula for time is: T (Period) = 1 / frequency.

Note: T = Period and t = Time

f = 1/T

e.g. What frequency has a period of 2 ms? (2 milliseconds)

f = 1/0.002 = 500 Hz.

-------------------

T = 1/f

e.g. Find the period of T = 250 Hz

T = 1/250 = 0.004 ms.

For a wavelengt lambda in air with the speed of sound of c = 340 meters per second the frequency f = c / lambda or lambda = c / f.

There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa.

Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic waves or sound waves in air".

The formula that links frequency to wavelength is v = f * lambda, where v is speed with units of meters per second (m/s), f is frequency with units of hertz (Hz or 1/s), and lambda is the wavelength with units of meters (m). Given frequency and speed, one can easily find the wavelength by solving the given equation to get lambda = v / f. Conversely, if given wavelength and speed, one can easily find the frequency by solving the given equation to get f = v / lambda.

Frequency means how often sometimes happens. The unit hertz is equivalent to 1/second. For example, if something repeats 60 times per second (the typical frequency of electrical current in some areas), it has a frequency of 60 hertz.

The formula of frequency is: f=1/T

where:

- T is period, in seconds

- f is frequency, in hertz

Alternating current usually has a frequency of 60 cycles per second. This is not determined by a formula, it is determined by the rotations per second of the turbine which generates the current.
