19. Frequency
Frequency: the reciprocal of the period which gives the number of cycles per unit of time.
The periodic nature of trig functions is useful to model oscillating motions or repeating patterns (sound waves, motion of a pendulum,…)

20. A sound consisting of a single frequency is called a pure tone
A sound consisting of a single frequency is called a pure tone. An audiometer produces pure tones to test a person’s auditory functions. Suppose an audiometer produces a pure tone with a frequency f of 2000 hertz (cycles per second). The maximum pressure P produced from the pure tone is 2 millipascals. Write and graph a sine model that gives the pressure P as a function of the time t (in seconds).
