    What is the relationship between period and frequency

    • Direct

    • Inverse

    • None

    • Reciprocal

    Correct Answer
    A. Reciprocal
    Explanation
    The relationship between period and frequency is reciprocal. This means that as the period increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. The period is the time it takes for one complete cycle to occur, while the frequency is the number of cycles that occur in one second. Since frequency is the reciprocal of the period, an increase in one will result in a decrease in the other, and vice versa.

    • Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Sound source
    Explanation
    The intensity of sound is determined by the sound source. The sound source is responsible for generating the sound waves, which carry the energy of the sound. The amplitude of the sound waves, which determines the intensity, is determined by the characteristics of the sound source, such as its power or vibration. The medium through which the sound travels can affect the propagation of the sound waves, but it does not directly determine the intensity of the sound. Therefore, the correct answer is sound source.

    Rate this question:

Therefore, there is a direct correlation between stiffness and speed, with an increase in stiffness leading to an increase in speed.
