Question

What is the period if the clock frequency is 3.5 GHz?

Answer 1

Answer:

Period = 0.2857 nanoseconds

Explanation:

We are told that frequency = 3.5 GHz

This is simply 3.5 × 10^(9) Hz

Now, from wave equations, Period is given by the formula;

Period = 1/frequency

Thus;

Period = 1/(3.5 × 10^(9))

Period = 0.2857 × 10^(-9) seconds

From conversions, we can simplify the answer.

1 second = 10^(-9) nanoseconds

Thus, 0.2857 × 10^(-9) seconds = 0.2857 × 10^(-9) × 10^(-9) nanoseconds = 0.2857 nanoseconds
