Question

The time period of second’s hand of watch is:
(A) 1 s
(B) 1 min
(C) 1 h
(D) 12 h

Answer 1

Hint: We can say that frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency. Frequency is measured in units of hertz (Hz) which is equal to one occurrence of a repeating event per second. Frequency measures the number of times something occurs in a specific amount of time. While frequency can be used to measure the rate of any action, in technical applications it is typically used to measure wave rates or processing speed.

Complete step by step answer
We know that a time period (denoted by 'T’) is the time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point. As the frequency of a wave increases, the time period of the wave decreases. The unit for time period is 'seconds'.
We can say that unit of time or midst unit is any particular time interval, used as a standard way of measuring or expressing duration. The base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) and by extension most of the Western world, is the second, defined as about 9 billion oscillations of the caesium atom. Period refers to the time it takes something to happen. Frequency is a rate quantity. Period is a time quantity. Frequency is the cycles/second. Period is the seconds/cycle.
The time taken by a second's hand to complete one full rotation of 360 degrees is 1 minute, which is its time period.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Note We know that wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second. T is the time it takes for one complete oscillation; it is measured in seconds. All waves, including sound waves and electromagnetic waves, follow this equation. For example, a wave with a time period of 2 seconds has a frequency of 1/ 2 = 0.5 Hz. A sound wave has a time period of 0.0001 seconds.
