Question

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz. What is the period of the crystal's motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time period, $T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz, f = 32768 Hz

We need to find the period of the crystal's motion. The relationship between the frequency and the time period is given by :

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

T is the time period of the crystal's motion.

Time period is given by :

$T=\dfrac{1}{32768}$

$T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s$

So, the time period of the crystal's motion is $3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s$. Hence, this is the required solution.
