Wave Period and Frequency

104 - Wave Period and Frequency

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the period is the time between wave and the frequency is the number of waves per second. Period is measured in seconds and frequency is measured in Hertz. Wave period and wave frequency are reciprocals of one another. After watching this video you will be able to determine the period (and therefore the frequency) using a position vs. time graph of a wave.

Everyone's talking about their finals or whatever but I'm here because of my online classes while quarantine

[dizzielizzie]

I'm in a grad program for speech pathology and this video helped me understand concepts that my professor couldn't communicate thoroughly in two hours. Thank you so much!

[perfectionist]

Nobody can explain things better then this guy

[Donirexian]

pov: you have a frequency test tomorrow and you've just been playing video games during physics class

[candela__]

Haven't been able to understand this for a full semester. A minute and 56 seconds into this video and now I have these concepts crystal clear. Idk who you are but ily.

[altamashkhan]

What you did in 4.89 minutes (approx.) is what takes a period of 4 days. Awesome explanation sir👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[alwinboby]

you have literally saved my life. I have an exam tomorrow and I dint understand the relation between period and frequency.thank you for helping me understand this concept.

[danyegon]

You are a very good teacher, simple explanation that captures everything

[SomeBorkedAccount]

The final is tomorrow, so thank you. my teacher just sort of stopped teaching

[raserapps]

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for this very clear explanation, it has really helped me to grasp the basics of the relationship between wave period and freq, I hadn't seen your previous videos but will deffo be checking them out to see if there's any other topics I need to understand better for my coursework. Especially if you have any Algebra vids. I was doing fine with Mathematics until the alphabet got involved...

I am studying towards a degree in Computing and IT with Open University (studying from home with lectures online). I have no school qualifications, but I'm doing OK so far. One of the compulsory modules of the degree is to choose between 'Discovering Mathematics' and 'Essential Mathematics', essential mathematics is a follow up to A-level students here in UK and was way too advanced for me so I started Discovering Mathematics - I wasn't prepared for mathematics to be such an important part of the computing course before hand so have been thrown in at the deep end before I can swim in regards to the mathematics side of things.

Anyway I have been doing alright, but one of my assignment questions has asked something like: to calculate the period of a Sine wave when given the frequency, and to then half the result (period) and explain/calculate what then happens to the frequency.

Your video gave me a clear insight and cool visual explanation of it all with the light bulbs and really helped so want to say a big Thank You!

[GuidingWizardOfficial]

Thankyou so much this was extremely helpful :)

[Kissmehauss]

Thank you so much! I just could not grasp this the way my teacher was teaching us. The flashing light bulb really helped.

[racheltripp]

Thank you!! I have midterms in a week and now I feel prepared because of your video

[jahandeniz]

couldn't be easier than this video to learn about frequencies. Thank you

[charlenemacomber]

Thank you so much for explaining these relationships so clearly! I understand them now :)

[alexandarbezanovski]

Thank you so much for explaining this with videos of waves to see what it physically is, it makes much more sense!

[Louis-qjtb]

I love this man and how well he explained this

[saurabhsawarn]

Amazing
i am studying in STD 8 and was just here to study a bit during quarantine
from india

[prometheus]

Have a Physics Exam Tomorrow and this helped a lot, Tysm <3

[pjfqqgz]

DAMN, MY FINAL IS TOMORROW THANKS TO THIS DUDE WHO SAVED MY LIFE
