How to Convert Frequencies to Periods
- 1). Write the frequency of a wave you want to convert to the period of the wave. For example, write, "17 Hz." One Hertz equals one cycle per second.
- 2). Divide 1 by the frequency of your wavelength using a calculator. For example, 1/17 = 0.05882.
- 3). Write your answer using the correct units. For example, write, "0.05882 seconds." The period of the wave you are analyzing is 0.05882 seconds.
