Determining wave frequency from a graph f Frequency
- Slides: 25
Determining wave frequency from a graph
f • Frequency = #of cycles/time • Measured in Hertz (Hz)
• 1 cycle = 1 full wave to repeat itself
3 cycles 1 2 3 4 5 6 Time in seconds 7 8 9 10 11 12
from 0 to 12 seconds 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Time in seconds 7 8 9 10 11 12
f=3 /12 s = ¼ Hz 1 2 3 4 5 6 Time in seconds 7 8 9 10 11 12
• Or determine the time for 1 full wave cycle
1 cycle in 4 seconds= ¼ Hz 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Time in seconds 7 8 9 10 11 12
• Period symbol T • The time for 1 cycle
The period for 1 wave is 4 seconds T=4 1 2 3 4 5 6 Time in seconds 7 8 9 10 11 12
What is the frequency? 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 Time in seconds 16 18 20 22 24
? 3 cycles 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 0 to 24 seconds 14 Time in seconds 16 18 20 22 24
0 to 24 seconds 3/24 s= 1/8 Hz 3 cycles 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 Time in seconds 16 18 20 22 24
OR • Frequency – 1 cycle in x seconds
f=1 cycle in 8 seconds= 1/8 Hz 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 Time in seconds 16 18 20 22 24
• On a piece of paper number 1 through 3 and determine the frequency of the following waves.
#1 f= ? 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Time seconds 8 9 10 11 12
#2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 f= ? 14 16 Time seconds 18 20 22 22 24 26
#3 f = ? 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Time seconds 45 50 55 60 65 70
• Check your answers
#1 f= 1/8 Hz 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Time seconds 8 9 10 11 12
#2 0 2 4 6 8 10 f= 1/8 Hz 12 14 16 Time seconds 18 20 22 22 24 26
#3 f = 1/20 Hz 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Time seconds 45 50 55 60 65 70
