Count the number of waves passing a point in one second. That is frequency.

Or count waves for 10 seconds and divide by 10.

How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?

wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency


Why the frequency of transverse wave is same?

Same as what?


How do you determine the amplitude of a transverse wave?

In a transverse wave,amplitudeis the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.)


What is a wave described by?

Speed, direction, transverse or longitudinal, frequency and amplitude.


Sound is an example of a?

Longitudinal wave Which can be in turn interpreted as a transverse wave. It has frequency, amplitude, crests & through.


A cork floats on the water as a wave passes by What happens to the cork Will the cork's vibrational frequency be related to the water wave's frequency and if so how?

The cork will move up and down with the wave, since the wave is a transverse wave. I would think that the frequency should be the same as the wave.


How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?

Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
