Frequency is the amount of cycles within a given amount of time. It is usually described in units of 1/s, where s is seconds.
If the wave is traveling, count the amount of peaks that pass by a certain reference point within a measured amount of time. Take the amount of peaks that have passed, and divide that quantity by the amount of time that has passed.
If the wave is not traveling (ie, a spring motion), count the amount of cycles within a measured amount of time. Then, as before, divide this quantity by the amount of time that has passed.
Mathematically, frequency = (1/Period) Conceptually, the period is how long it takes a wave to begin repeating itself. For example, if I start a stopwatch when the wave reaches its peak, and then stop timing when it reaches its next peak, the time on the stopwatch is the period. The frequency is how far the wave gets in 1 second. Some examples: If it take a wave 30 seconds to go through one cycle, the period is 30 seconds. In 1 second, it gets only 1/30 of the way through its cycle. Its frequency is 1/30 then. If a wave repeats itself 10 times in 1 second, its frequency is 10. It's period must be 1/10 of a second.
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency
You will have to measure it.
Period = 1/frequency = 1/500 = 0.002 second = 2 milliseconds

apex - 3.6 . to find the wave speed you multiply the frequency and the wave length .
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency
v=fλ where f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
To get the wavelength of a wave simply divide the wavespeed with its frequency.
wave frequency.
The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). Therefore, the wavelength would equal the speed divided by the frequency. Also, the speed of a wave in a vacuum is the speed of light, c, which is a constant.
Since there are several kinds of waves, there are several ways to measure their frequency. Electrical waves can be measured with a frequency counter, an analog frequency meter or an oscilloscope. Ocean waves' frequency is measured with a stopwatch, but most people who measure ocean waves want to know how large they are rather than how fast they're coming.

The Wave lenght of a pulsation can be determined by dividing its velocity by its frequency, the amplitude is not involved in the calculation.
