A saxophone plays a note with a wavelength of 
. What is the period of the sound?
A saxophone plays a note with a wavelength of
The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and velocity is:
Frequency is the inverse of period, allowing us to substitute into the velocity equation.
We are given the speed of sound and the wavelength. Using these values, we can solve for the period.

Frequency is simply the reciprocal of period.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
A bird chirps 
times per second. What is the period of the chirping?
A bird chirps
The problem gives us a frequency in chirps per second. This is the same as 
as a "chirp" has no dimensional value.
Period is given by the reciprocal of frequency.
Using our known frequency, we can solve for the period.
