Frequency $=\frac{1}{\text { period }} ; f=1 / T$ What is the frequency, in hertz, that corresponds to each of the following periods: (a) 0.10 s, (b) 5 s, (c) 1$/ 60$ s?
(a) An AC power supply's function generator outputs a sine wave with a frequency f = 139.0 Hz. What is the period of this wave? (b) The same AC power supply from part (a) outputs a sine wave with f = 139.0 Hz. Use your answer to part (a) to estimate how wide one cycle of this wave will be as measured in DIV (divisions) if the oscilloscope is set at 1 ms/DIV. Round your answer to 0.1 DIV even though, in principle, you can estimate values to 0.05 DIV. This answer has only 2 sig figs. (c) A different AC power supply's function generator outputs a sine wave with f = 100. Hz. It is input to an oscilloscope set at 2 ms/DIV. How many complete cycles of the sine wave are displayed on the oscilloscope? (Hint - There are 10 divisions on the time display of the oscilloscope.) - 1 complete cycle. - 2 complete cycles. - none of these is correct. - 5 complete cycles.
