4 FOCUSED TOOLS
Waves & oscillation calculators
Relate frequency, period, wavelength and ideal oscillators.
Choose the right calculation
A period measures one complete cycle and frequency counts cycles per second. Wave speed depends on the medium. Simple pendulum and spring models assume conditions such as small oscillations or linear restoring forces.

Frequency Calculator
Find frequency from the period of one repeating cycle.
Wave Speed Calculator
Calculate wave speed from frequency and wavelength.
Pendulum Period Calculator
Estimate the period of a simple pendulum for small oscillations.
Spring Oscillation Period Calculator
Estimate oscillation period for an ideal mass on a linear spring.
How are period and frequency related?
They are reciprocals when measured in compatible units: frequency in hertz equals one divided by period in seconds.
