The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle.

The formula for period is 1/frequency
or commonly writen as T=1/f (units are seconds)

Hope this helps.

Period = 1 / Frequency in seconds.

1 / 440 seconds therefore

The period is 0.00227 seconds

or 2.27 milliseconds.

Hope this helps....

T = 1/f, where T is period and f is frequency, so T = 1/(440 Hz) = 0.00227 s.
