Hint: Frequency repeating events or number of occurrences per unit of time, It is also denoted as temporal frequency to the contrast to spatial frequency and ordinary frequency to the contrast to angular frequency
The period is defined as the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, hence the period and frequency are reciprocal to each other

Complete step by step solution:
Frequency is inversely proportional to the period. Frequency denotes how repeating events happen sometimes. The period denotes the time taken to make the event. Frequency is said to be a rate quantity.
The period is said to be a time quantity. Frequency is referred to as the number of cycles per second which is measured in Hertz (Hz).
The period is referred to as the seconds per cycle. Since they are inversely proportional to each other, frequency is increasing, then the period is getting decreased. Let's consider if ten cycles per second are the frequency which is described as ten Hertz then the time period is one-tenth of a second per cycle.
The reciprocal of frequency is known as the time period. The time period SI unit is second and frequency’s SI unit is “per second”
The time required to complete one cycle of any function is called a time period other hand frequency is the number of repeating event

Note:
Hertz (Hz) is used to measure the frequency which is equal to one event per second.
The time taken for the one complete cycle is known as the time period, hence, the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.
The time is required to complete a cycle is the period.
