7 hertz. Since frequency of the wave motion is defined as the number of waves ie number of wavelengths crossing a particular point in the medium in one second.

What is being measured when you count how many wavelengths pass a given point per second?
The wave's frequency is.
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.
What is the number of waves that pass a point in one second called?
Frequency
What are the frequency and period of a wave if 6 peaks pass in 2 seconds?
The frequency is 6 per 2 seconds = 3 Hz. The period is the reciprocal of the frequency = 1/3 second.
What is the frequency of a wave in which 2 complete waves pass a given point at any second?
2 Hz is.
I am the number of wavelengths that pass a point in one second. What am I?
frequency
The of a wave is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second?
It is the frequency.
How many wavelengths pass by you in one second?
The number of waves that pass a certain point per second is called the FREQUENCY. The unit is the hertz (cycles per second).
What is frequency of a measure of?
the number of waves per second (APEX)
The number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second is?
No that is frequency. Wavelength is how long it takes one wave to pass a certain point fully once
What is being measured when you count how many wavelengths pass a given point per second?
The wave's frequency is.
What is Frequency of a wave?
frequency = 1/ Time In other words, the frequency and period of a wave are reciprocals of each other.
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.
What is the number of crests and troughs that pass a point per second?
That is twice the frequency. Frequency is equal to the number of complete cycles which pass a point per second.
What is the number of waves that pass a point per second?
Frequency
What do you call the number of waves that pass by a given point in one second?
frequency, the unit is Hz, measured as cycles/second or waves/second
What is wave frequncy?
it is the number of wavelengths that pass a given point in 1 second.
