Q37. - Algebra 2

Question

How do the periods of the tuning forks compare?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

As the frequency increases the period decreases   

Step 1. Given information

Period of tuning fork

Step 2. Concept used

Frequency of tuning fork is indirectly proportional to period of tuning fork.

Step 3. Calculation

Frequency of tuning fork is indirectly proportional to period of tuning fork.

This can be written as-

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

From above equation, we can observe that as the frequency increases the period decreases
