What is the frequency of a wave when one wave passes in 8 seconds?
Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which is the number of wavelengths that pass in one second. Since one wavelength is passing every eight seconds, the frequency is 1/8 Hz.
If you make a wave in a rope so that a wave passes every second What is its frequency?
1 Hz
How do you prove that speed equals wavelength times frequency?
Frequency is the number of waves per second, i.e. 20Hz is 20 waves per second. Wavelength is obviously the length of each wave i.e 20m So if there are 20 waves per second, the distance it travels is the length of the wave multiplied by the number of waves in one second. The distance travelled in one second by the wave above is therefore 20 * 20m wich is 400m. The distance travelled in 1 second is 400m. Therefore every second, the wave travels 400m and thus the speed is 400meters per second (400m/s).
How much money would you have to spend every second to spend a trillion dollars?
You could spend a fraction of a penny every second and spend a trillion dollars over a very long time. However to spend a trillion dollars in a certain amount of time it's $(1000000000 / Months * 2678400) per second. So over 5 months it would be about $76.67 per second.
5.1 waves crash onto a beach every 39.9 s What is their frequency?
Well, ask yourself what frequency is, not even necessarily in a mathematical sense. The frequency that something occurs is how often is happens. In a mathematical sense, frequency is just that, in terms of seconds. So the frequency in this case is 5.1/39.9s or roughly 0.128
What does wave frequency measure?
The frequency expresses how many complete cycles of the wave pass a certain point every second.
What does a wave frequency measure?
The frequency expresses how many complete cycles of the wave pass a certain point every second.
What is the frequency of a wave when one wave passes in 8 seconds?
Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which is the number of wavelengths that pass in one second. Since one wavelength is passing every eight seconds, the frequency is 1/8 Hz.
How fast does a sound vibrate?
Every second, it vibrates once for every Hertz of its frequency.
Which wave has a greater frequency- wave a where a crest is seen once every second or wave b where a crest is seen some evry minute?
The wave that has a crest every second has a greater frequency.
What does the term frequency mean?
The amount of times something happens within a certain period of time. In Herz, and while talking about sound, this would be the amount of waves every second.
Which describes the frequency for a wave?
"Frequency" means how 'frequent' the wave is. How many wave 'bumps' pass you every second.
What is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point every second called?
Frequency
In what Refersto the number of wave passed through a particular point every second?
It is the frequency of the wave.
If you make a wave in a rope so that a wave passes every second What is its frequency?
1 Hz
What is the frequency of a wave in which five waves pass a given point every second?
That's 5 per second - or 5 hertz.
What is the frequency of 2 hertz wave?
It means something is oscillating or vibrating at 2 cycles every second.
