Question:
The sound from a mosquito is produced when it vibrates its wings at an average rate of 500 vibrations per second. What is the time period of the vibration?
Answer:
The time required to complete one oscillation is known as time period. It is given by the inverse of the frequency. Time period = 1/(Frequency of Oscillation) Frequency of oscillations = 500 Hz Time period = 1/500 = .002 s
