The video tutorial explains how to calculate the time period of a sound wave produced by a honey bee, given its frequency of 500 Hz. It demonstrates that the time period is the reciprocal of frequency, resulting in a time period of 2 x 10^-3 seconds. The tutorial then addresses a second problem involving a sound wave with a frequency of 100 Hz traveling through air at 350 m/s. It shows how to calculate the wavelength by dividing the speed by the frequency, resulting in a wavelength of 3.5 meters.
