The diagram above shows a waveform in which energy is transferred from A to B in a time of 2.5 x 10-3s. Calculate the frequency of the wave

A.

2.0 x 103Hz

B.

1.0 x 103Hz

C.

4.0 x 10-2Hz

D.

1.0 x 10-3Hz

E.

5.0 x 104Hz.

Correct answer is B

The waveform moved from A to B in \(2.5 \times 10^{-3}\) seconds.

From the diagram, A to B has \(2\frac{1}{2}\) complete oscillations between it, Therefore, the period of the oscillation is

\(\frac{2.5 \times 10^{-3}}{2.5} = 1 \times 10^{-3} s\)

\(Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\)

= \(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-3}} = 1 \times 10^{3} Hz\)
