Hz = cycles/second. Therefore, at 2Hz, you're generating two complete cycles (or what I believe you refer to as waves) every second. So 2 cycles x 60 seconds = 120 cycles per minute. 120 cycles x 5 minutes = 600 cycles.
you count the waves. so for example you '~' would be a wavelength of 1.
That depends on the information available. You can try to measure the frequency, with specialized equipment. Or, you might measure the wavelength and the speed instead, and use the basic relationship for waves (speed = wavelength x frequency).
Im fairly sure that its frequency multiplied by wavelength. Frequency is essentially waves per second, since hertz is cycles per second, so its distance (metres) times frequency (cycles per second), which gives speed (metres per second).
Wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave, so wavelength = speed / frequency. In SI units, wavelength (in meters) = speed (in meters/second) / frequency (in Hertz). If you are talking about electromagnetic waves in avacuum, use 300,000,000 m/s for the speed.
find the frequency before finding the percent total -_- :)
frequency=wavespeed divided by wavelength.
Count the number of waves passing a point in one second. That is frequency. Or count waves for 10 seconds and divide by 10.
The velocity of the light waves must be given before the frequency can be find.
1/T, where T=period in seconds.
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.
you count the waves. so for example you '~' would be a wavelength of 1.
6.6´1015 Hz, ultraviolet
The formula is frequency = Energy/h where h is Planck's Constant, 2/3 E-33.
Frequency is above 1 GHz or so for radar. General amplitude of waves put out by a radar gun is what I was trying to find when I stumbled across this. I imagine its in the mV or lower range though
Frequency refers to how many waves pass a fixed point in a unit of time. Frequency is measured in Hertz, or Hz, and one Hertz means a single wave passes a given fixed point in one second. Wavelength refers to the length of an entire wave, so either from crest to crest or trough to trough. If you know how many waves pass a given point in a unit of time, which is frequency, and how long the waves are, which is wavelength, you can find the wave's speed. For example, if a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz, so ten waves pass a given point in a second, and it has a wavelength of four meters, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength to find that the waves are traveling at 40 meters per second.
-- Speed of a wave = (frequency) times (wavelength) -- There is no general formula for amplitude.
There are a few different formulas, depending on what measurements you know. For mechanical waves . . . the mechanical characteristics of the medium. For electromagnetic waves . . . the electrical characteristics of the medium. For all waves . . . the product of (wavelength) multiplied by (frequency).
