Math Problem Statement
An signal generator, a device that produces electronic signal with specific characteristics, is set at 50 Hz. What is the period of this signal?
Solution
The period of a signal is the reciprocal of its frequency . The formula is:
Where:
- is the period (in seconds),
- is the frequency (in Hz).
Given that the frequency of the signal generator is 50 Hz, we can calculate the period as follows:
So, the period of the signal is 0.02 seconds.
