How to calculate frequency in hertz.
Period of a wave formula
Frequency Calculator
The frequency calculator will let you find a wave's frequency given its period or its wavelength and velocity in no time. You can choose a wave velocity from the preset list, so you don't have to remember.
In the text, you'll also find the frequency definition, two frequency formulas (period to frequency and wavelength to frequency), and a few examples showing how to calculate frequency.
If you want to know more about waves, check the wavelength calculator, and if you want to know the frequency of musical notes, check out the note frequency calculator.
Frequency definition and the frequency formula
Have a look at the following model of a wave; it will help you understand the terms used in the frequency definition below it.
Frequency is the number of completed wave cycles per second.
In other words, frequency tells us how many wave crests pass a given point in a second.
This frequency definition leads us to the simplest frequency formula:
f=T1
f denotes frequency, and T stands for the time it takes to complete one wave cycle measured
