Homework Statement
a vibrating source makes 16 pulses every 4 seconds
find the frequency
Homework Equations
frequency=n/t
pulse is half a wave
The Attempt at a Solution
if we consider a pulse as half a wave then the source produces 8 waves
then frequency=8/4=2 hertz
but that's not the right answer
according to the textbook:
frequency=16/4=4 Hz
I'm completely confused can u explain the right answer?
Thanks in advance!
