Solution

The correct option is B False
Time period is defined as the time taken for a wave to complete one oscillation -denoted by T
Number of oscillations per second of a vibrating object is called Frequency of sound wave, denoted by 'f' ,it is not time period.
$Frequency (f) = \frac{1}{T}; unit is Hertz (Hz)$
Hence, the given statement is false.
