  • B. 1.0 x 103Hz
  • C. 4.0 x 10-2Hz
  • D. 1.0 x 10-3Hz
  • E. 5.0 x 104Hz.

Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

The waveform moved from A to B in \(2.5 \times 10^{-3}\) seconds.

From the diagram, A to B has \(2\frac{1}{2}\) complete oscillations between it, Therefore, the period of the oscillation is

\(\frac{2.5 \times 10^{-3}}{2.5} = 1 \times 10^{-3} s\)

\(Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\)

= \(\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{-3}} = 1 \times 10^{3} Hz\)
