hi all, bit of a harder question... wood love some help please??? A pulse waveform with frequency of 100kHz is applied to a counter. During 100ms, how many pulses are counted?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm 100?

OpenStudy (jack1):

i dunno, is it? htz is per second, so 100 kHz is 100000/second...yeah? so i thought that 100ms = 0.1 sec so 100000 x 0.1 = 10,000 pulses? but i wasn't sure, can anyone help plz?

@ganeshie8 ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

sorry

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Time period of each cylce, \(\large T = \frac{1}{f} = 10^{-5}\) seconds

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just count how many time periods are there in 100ms

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

number of cycles = \(\large \frac{100 \times 10^{-3}}{10^{-5}}\)

OpenStudy (jack1):

100/10^-5 = 10,000,000?

OpenStudy (jack1):

ah, gotcha, my bad 0.1/10^-5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

or another way to look at it is : 1s -----> 100k cycles 100ms -----> ? cycles

OpenStudy (jack1):

10% so 10,000 cheers man, wasn't sure if there was anything special about counting them differently bcoz they are pulse waveforms... s'all
