The time period of vibration can be calculated using the formula:
Time Period = 1/Frequency
Given:
Frequency of mosquito’s wings = 500 vibrations per second
Using the formula:
Time Period = 1/(500 vibrations/second)
Time Period = 0.002 seconds
Therefore, the time period of the vibration of the mosquito’s wings is 0.002 seconds.
