The period of a 10 kHz radio wave traveling at 10\(^{8}\) ms\(^{-1}\) is--

  • A. 3.0 x 10\(^{-5}\)s
  • B. 1.0 x 10\(^{-4}\) s
  • C. 1.0 x 10\(^{4}\)s
  • D. 3.0 x 10\(^{4}\)s

Correct Answer: B. 1.0 x 10\(^{-4}\) s

Explanation

The relation between period and frequency isthat one is the inverse of the other.

By definition:

Frequency = 1/period.

or

period = 1/frequency → 1/ 10,000

period = 0.0001 or 1.0 x 10\(^{-4}\) s
