Question

What is the frequency, in units of kiloHertz, of an AC waveform that has a period of 12 microseconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

83.3 kHz

Explanation:

The frequency of a waveform is equal to the reciprocal of its period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In this problem, we have

$T=12 \mu s=12\cdot 10^{-6} s$

so, the frequency of the waveform is

$f=\frac{1}{12 \cdot 10^{-6} s}=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz$

And by converting into kiloHertz,

$f=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz=83.3 kHz$
