The number of cycles that occur in one second is known as?

That's the frequency.


The number of waves passing a give point per second?

This is known as frequency and is measured in Hertz (Hz). It represents the number of complete wave cycles passing a point in one second.


What is the number of compressions or rarefactions that pass a point each second?

The number of compressions or rarefactions that pass a point each second is known as the frequency of the wave. It is measured in hertz (Hz) and corresponds to the number of complete wave cycles passing the point in one second.


How many cycles occur in one second?

Cycles per second is known also known as the frequency. 100 cycles per second is 100 hertz (100hz). I can't answer your question though as there is not enough information. However if it is multiple choice and there is no other info the best answer is one.


What term refers to the number of waves passing a specific point in a given amount of time?

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a fixed amount of time is known as the "frequency".=====is called the Frequency of the waves (located on page 10 of the Penn Foster - Sound Study Guide)=====The number of waves that pass a given point per second is measured in units of Hertz (Hz). Hertz is a unit for cycles per second.The number of cycles that a wave completes in 'S' seconds is 'S' times its 'frequency'.


Electricity with a frequency measured in cycles per second or Hertz and consists of alternating sinusoidal waves is known as?

What is the speed that traditional computers are measured in?

There are two units of measure. The first is the number of cycles per second performed by the CPU, measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hertz is 1 cycle per second and 1 gigahertz (GHz) is 1 billion cycles per second. All home computers are measured in Hertz. Hertz are also used to measure memory refresh rates, video refresh rates and so on. The second unit of measure is the number of floating point calculations per second, known as flops, where a gigaflop is a billion flops per second. Supercomputers are typically measured in flops.


What is it called when raising a number to the second power?

Taking a number to the second power is known as "squaring" the number.

How is a wave frequency different from its speed?

Frequency is cycles per second - for instance, how many wave crests pass every second. SI units are 1/second, also known as hertz. Speed is measured in meters/second. The relationship between the two is: frequency x wavelength = speed As an example, all electromagnetic waves (such as light) go at the same speed in a vacuum - about 300,000 kilometers/second. But they come in different frequencies - from less than 1 megahertz (millions of cycles per second), through gigahertz (billions of cycles per second), terahertz (trillions of cycles per second - for visible light), petahertz, exahertz (for gamma radiation).


The number of complete alternating cycles that occur in one second is known as what?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.


Frequency refers to what musical term?

Frequency, measured, musically speaking, in Hertz, is the number of "cycles per second" in a single wave. A sound travelling at the frequency of 440 Hertz (440 cycles per second) produces a note of A, known as concert pitch.
