To investigate the properties of sound in a laboratory, a device (an electromagnetic tuning fork) that maintains a constant electrical oscillation was used to generate a sound of a specific pitch. The frequency f of this device is expressed in Hz and represents the number of times the medium vibrates per second.
Now, the sound waves emitted by this device were captured by a microphone and displayed on a computer screen. The time from the highest point of a wave (a crest) to the next crest is called the period T of the sound wave. The unit for the period T is the second s.
The following relationship holds between the frequency f and the period T.
f=T1When the period T of this device was measured, its value was expressed as T=t1, where t is a variable. Find the value of the frequency f in this case, and determine the natural number that satisfies the following input format.
Let A be the numerical value of the frequency f. Enter the value of A as a natural number.
