How do you calculate the speed of a wave?
you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
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 happens to the period of a wave when the frequency decreases?
The period and frequency of a wave are inversely related, i.e. the period is the time it takes for wave to go through a cycle, and the frequency is the number of cycles in a certain time period. For example, a wave with a period of 0.5 seconds would have a frequency of 2 per second. Since these properties are the inverse of each other, than they will be opposite when changing. If the period decreases (i.e. gets shorter, faster) than the frequency increases. Or vice versa.
The time it takes one wavelength to pass a given point?
The Period
Which are the four properties that all waves have?
The main properties of waves are defined below. * Amplitude: the height of the wave, measured in meters. * Wavelength: the distance between adjacent crests, measured in meters. * Period: the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds. * Frequency: the number of complete waves that pass a point in one second, measured in inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz). * Speed: the horizontal speed of a point on a wave as it propagates, measured in meters / second.
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a 1 hz frequency?
The distance light takes to travel in a second (just less than 30000000metres).
How do you find wavelength when distance is given?
Wavelength = speed divided by frequency. Speed = distance divided by time. Therefore: Wavelength = distance divided by (frequency x time). You therefore need to know the frequency of the wave and the time it takes to travel in unit time.
If a sound wave is traveling 2.5 meters and it takes 0.0073 seconds what is its frequency and wavelength?
There isn't enough information in this question. You can calculate the speed of the wave (distance divided by time), which is the frequency times the wavelength. But you still need one of them to find the other.
What is her velocity if it takes her 60 seconds?
Takes her 60 seconds to do what? Travel 1 mile? Travel 10 miles?

about 480 seconds

What is the frequency of a wave that takes 5.0 Sec?
If it takes 5 seconds for one whole wave to pass you, then its frequency is 1/5 wave per second, or 0.2 Hz.
How many seconds it takes a 6ft vehicle to travel 4 feet at 1 mph?
5.87 seconds.
