Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (5 meters) x (1,000 per second) = 5,000 meters per second.
This could not be an electromagnetic wave traveling in a vacuum.
The speed of E&M in vacuum is roughly 300,000,000 meters per second.
This unknown disturbance in the force is too slow by a factor of 60,000 !

If you know the vacuum wavelength of any form of electromagnetic radiation you can determine its frequency because?
You know its speed in vacuum, and frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) .
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 2.45 109 Hz in a vacuum (The speed of light in a vacuum is 3.00 108 ms.)?
You need to divide the speed of light (in m/s) by the frequency (in Hz, which is equal to 1/s) to get the wavelength (in meters).
How are the energy and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave related?
For any point on the electromagnetic spectrum, the product of(wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) is 299,792,458 meters per second.That's the speed of the wave.
What is the speed of an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 9.17 1016 Hz and a wavelength of 3.27 nm?
The speed of any wave is the product of the frequency and the wavelength. Be sure to convert the nm to meters first (dividing by 1,000,000,000). - By the way, in a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, known as the speed of light - about 300 million meters/second. However, in other substances - such as air, or water - electromagnetic waves are slower.
How are the wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?
For any wave:wavelength x frequency = speedSpeed of light, in this case.For any wave:wavelength x frequency = speedSpeed of light, in this case.For any wave:wavelength x frequency = speedSpeed of light, in this case.For any wave:wavelength x frequency = speedSpeed of light, in this case.
If you know the vacuum wavelength of any form of electromagnetic radiation you can determine its frequency because?
You know its speed in vacuum, and frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) .
What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 7.6 x m in a vacuum?
3.95*10^13
An electromagnetic wave in a vacuum has a wavelength of 0.032 m What is its frequency?
Just divide the speed of light (300,000,000 meters/second) by the wavelength.
What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 7.6 10-6 m in a vacuum?
3.95*10^13
If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum you can calculate its?
Momentum, energy, frequency, and wave number (but not wave vector.)
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 2.45 109 Hz in a vacuum (The speed of light in a vacuum is 3.00 108 ms.)?
You need to divide the speed of light (in m/s) by the frequency (in Hz, which is equal to 1/s) to get the wavelength (in meters).
How are wave velocity frequency period and wavelength related?
Wave frequency can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave (if we're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum, that would be the speed of light, c) by wavelength.
How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum?
The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light (which is, in itself an electromagnetic wave). It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.
How do you know the speed of a electromagnetic wave in a vacuum?
The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light (which is, in itself an electromagnetic wave). It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.
What is the wavelength of a wave with frequency 6.0 x 10 14?
That also depends on the speed of the wave. Use the formula speed = wavelength x frequency, or wavelength = speed / frequency. In the case of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, use 300,000,000 m/s for the speed.
A microwave and an x ray are traveling in a vacuum compared to the wavelength and frequency of the microwave the x ray has a wavelength that is shorter or longer?
. Longer, and a period that is longer
How do you find velocity when only the frequency is given?
The question is incomplete. Frequency of what? If it refers to electromagnetic waves, you won't need even frequency to determine velocity (in a vacuum), because it will always be c (the speed of light). You can compute the speed of other kinds of waves if you know the frequency and wavelength, but not from frequency alone. The formula is frequency x wavelength = velocity If the waves are electromagnetic, and you have only frequency, you can compute the wavelength using the same formula.
