PASSAGE-II: The number of oscillations or vibrations made by a vibrating body in one second is known as the frequency of the wave. The S.I. unit of frequency is hertz (Hz) which is named after the name of scientist Heinrich Hertz.
Time taken to complete one vibration by the vibrating body is known as time period. Time period and frequency are related as
`"Time periode" = 1/("frequency")`
The frequency of a source of sound is 20 Hz find its time period.
