Frequency=1/period
f=1/T
Velocity of the wave = wavelength times frequency
v=L f
Period is defined as time required to complete one cycle.
Wave length is the length of a wave from beginning of a cycle to the end or when the waveform begins to repeat itself.

No Randy G, frequency is the inverse of the period. The relationship with wavelength is f = lambda/speed of sound

Frequency is usually the inverse of the wavelength, if that is what you mean.
-----------------edit-----------
For the guy below me, I thought that "period" and "wavelength" are essentially the same thing.

f = 1 / T
f = wavespeed / wavelength
f = speedoflight/ wavelength (applies to electromagnetic energy)
Hmm. T = period.
