(frequency) = (speed) / (wavelength) = (15 m per sec) / (3 m) = 5 per sec = 5 Hz.

What is the speed of a water wave having a wavelength of 2m and a frequency of 0.2hz?
For any wave, the speed of the wave is the product of its frequency and of its wavelength.
What is the period of the wave having waves at a rate of 3 per second and wavelength of 2cm?
The period is ' 1 ' divided by the frequency. (The reciprocal of the frequency.)The question tells us the frequency . . . "3 per second".So the period is 1/3rd of a second .Having the frequency, the wavelength doesn't give us any more information (except thatnow we know the speed of the wave, but that's irrelevant at the moment.)
What is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds?
period and frequency are reciprocals period (T) = 1/frequency (1/f) period = 1/18
A vector is a quanitity with magnitude and?
A vector quantity is a physical quantity having magnitude and direction both. For e.g. velocity is a vector quantity and in physics it is velocity is generally denoted as: v (bar) = 2i+3j+4k where in general, i=velocity in x-direction j=velocity in y-direction k=velocity in z-direction 2,3 and 4 are magnitudes respective to their directions.
Can you have a negative position while having a positive velocity?
Certainly. For example, a pendulum at its left-most position.
Calculate the velocity of a wave having frequency of 0.5 Hz and wavelength of 5 m?
The speed of a wave = (frequency) x (wavelength) = 2.5 meters per second.
What is the frequency of light having a wavelength of 447 nm?
Wavelength = Velocity / FrequencyTherefore:Frequency = Velocity / WavelengthVelocity = c, the speed of light, which is 299,792,458m/s.We know the wavelength is 413nm, which is 4.13*10-7m, so our equation is:f = (3.00 * 108) / (4.13 * 10-7) = 7.259 * 1014Hz
How are frequency wavelength and color interdependent on each other?
Each colour has different wavelengths....For example: In VIBGYOR It is in the order of increasing wavelength i.e Compared to red violet is having the shorter wavelength..... The frequency and wavelength are related by the equation: In vaccum: frequency= c/wavelengthwherec is the velocity of light in free spaceWhereas in any medium,frequency= Velocity of light in that medium/wavelength So, it is clear from the formula that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.... As the wavelength changes with colour the frequency also changes according to that.............. If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be low and viceversa....
How are the light waves of colours different from each other?
Each color has a different frequency and wavelength; with red having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency of all the visible colors & violet having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of the colors humans can see.
What is the speed of a water wave having a wavelength of 2m and a frequency of 0.2hz?
For any wave, the speed of the wave is the product of its frequency and of its wavelength.
Why is red light having maximum wavelength?
Because red light has minimum frequency and thus it has maximum wavelength.
What is a light having one wavelength called?
At a single wavelength, it is called monochromatic
How are x-rays and earthquake waves similar?
They are both transverse waves, albeit having different wavelength and frequency. I think that velocity of the waves will also be different as x-rays travel at the speed of light.
What is the speed of an electromagnetic wave having a frequency of 1.49 1017 Hz and a wavelength of 6.39 nm?
The speed of any wave =Frequency *Wavelength here, frequency =1.49*1017 Hz & wavelength=6.39 nm =6.39* 10-9 m So speed=9.52*108 m/s
What waves have the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays are the waves with the shortest wavelength. The waves having highest frequency have the shortest wavelength. As gamma rays have the highest frequency starting from 10^19 and onwards so they have the shortest wavelength starting from 10^-11 and decreasing.
Is the wavelength of infra-red light to short to be seen?
Visible light has the spectrum VIBGYOR. Violet is at one extreme having highest frequency and red is at the other end having least frequency. Less frequency means having longest wavelength, since wavelength and frequency are inversely related. As we go beyond violet then it is named as ultraviolet. Same way as we go beyond red, then it known as infra red. So its wavelength has to be greater than that of red. Hence longer wavelength for IR radiations. IR is what we call 'thermal' radiation, in other words, 'heat'.
What is the wavelength of waves having a frequency of 215 hertz and a speed of 27 miles per second?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (27/215) mile = 0.1256 mile (rounded)-- 663.06 ft (rounded)-- 202.1 meters (rounded)
