To find the time period of the vibration of a mosquito's wings, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between frequency and time period The time period (T) is the duration of one complete cycle of vibration, while frequency (F) is the number of cycles per second. The relationship between them is given by the formula: \[ T = \frac{1}{F} \] ### Step 2: Identify the frequency from the problem The problem states that the mosquito vibrates its wings at an average rate of 500 vibrations per second. This means the frequency (F) is: ...
