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.
You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.
A frequency converter converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. Generally it's used for controlling the ac motor speed by changing the supply frequency.
HZ. Hertz is the name given to the frequency of the alternating circuit. Direct current (DC) has no frequency since one wire is always positive and the other is always negative; but AC (Alternating Current) rapidly changes polarity, and does so at a rate that is defined by HZ.
DC (direct current) means the current flows only in one direction. In AC (alternating current), the current changes direction continuously (for example, 50 or 60 cycles per second).
AC is mainly having frequency i.e., cycles per second.as the name suggest that it is alternating current DC is not having any cycles so, it is not having frequency
