Chapter 8, Problem 1TFQ

The period of a 60 Hz sine wave is 16.7 ms.

To determine

Whether the given statement is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1TFQ

The statement is true.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The period for the 60-Hz sinusoidal wave is 16.7ms.

Calculation:

As given the frequency of the sine waves is 60-Hz.

The period of the sine wave can be evaluated by taking the inverse of the frequency as done below:

  $\begin{array}{c}T=\frac{1}{f}\\ =\frac{1}{60\text{Hz}}\\ =0.0166\text{s}\\ \text{=16}\text{.7ms}\end{array}$

Therefore, the given statement is true that the period of the 60-Hz sine wave is 16.7ms.
