Answer 2 (Method 2)

If $ f_s = 16$, what is the frequency of the sinusoid?

\includegraphics[scale=.8]{eps/QSampSine1}

Method 2: the period of the sinusoid is

$\displaystyle T = 8 \times T_s = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2},
$

and the frequency is

$\displaystyle f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{2} = 2$    Hz$\displaystyle .
$

If $ f_s = 32$, then the frequency is higher:

$\displaystyle f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{32}{8} = 4$    Hz$\displaystyle .
