Question

The sound from a mosquito is produced when it vibrates its wings at an average rate of 500 vibrations per second. What is the time period of the vibration?

Answer 1

Step 1- Given

As the mosquito produces vibration at the rate of 500 vibrations per second this means the frequency of the sound wave is 500Hz

$Frequency=500Hz$

Step 2- Formula Used

$Timeperiod=\frac{1}{Frequency}$

Step 3-Calculation

$Frequency=500Hz$

$Timeperiod=\frac{1}{Frequency}$

$Timeperiod=\frac{1}{500}$

$Timeperiod=0.002sec$

The time period of the vibration produced by mosquito is 0.002 sec.
