The period of an ocean wave is 10 seconds what is the wave's frequency?

Period = 1/Frequency
So if we set Frequency = x THEN:
10 = 1/x
10x = 1
x = 1/10
IF Period of a Wave is 10 Seconds THEN The Frequency =1/10 or .10

What is the frequency of the waves if the waves along the shore are 10 seconds apart?
Frequency = 1/period = 1/10 sec = 0.1 Hz.
What is the frequency of the waves traveling to the shore if six waves reach the shore in 30 seconds?
The frequency of the waves is 0.20 HZ.
What is the frequency of 45 compressional waves in 90 seconds?
0.5 Hz
What is the frequency of a wave five waves pass in two seconds?
5 wavs in 2 seconds = 2.5 waves per second = 2.5 Hz
An ocean wave has a wavelength of 10 meters These waves pass by a stationary boat every 2 seconds The speed of the waves is?
The speed of a wave = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (10) x (1/2) = 5 meters per second.
What is the Hz of an ocean wave?
-- If the ocean waves lap the shore every 15 seconds then their frequency is 1/15 Hz.-- If the waves come every 30 seconds then the frequency is 1/30 Hz.-- If the waves come every minute (60 seconds) then their frequency is 1/60 Hz....etc.In general, the frequency of ocean waves, and any other waves, is1/the number of seconds between consecutive waves
A water wave rises and falls twice every four seconds What is the period of the wave What is its frequency?
Period = (4 seconds) / (2 waves) = 2 seconds per wave Frequency = (2 waves) / (4 seconds) = 0.5 Hz.
What is the frequency of the waves if the waves along the shore are 10 seconds apart?
Frequency = 1/period = 1/10 sec = 0.1 Hz.
How t find a waves frequency?
1/T, where T=period in seconds.
What is the frequency of the waves traveling to the shore if six waves reach the shore in 30 seconds?
The frequency of the waves is 0.20 HZ.
A marine weather station reports waves along the shore that are 8 seconds apart The frequency of the waves is therefore?
Frequency = 1/period. So the amount of time for one period is eight second, thus it is 1/8 or 0.125 hertz.
How do you measure the frequency of the wave?
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.
25 waves in 2 seconds what is the frequency?
50
How do the properties of waves affect the speed frequency and period of waves?
Period = (1) divided by (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (speed)Frequency = (1) divided by (period) = (speed) divided by (period)Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (period)Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) = (speed) times (period)
As the frequency of a set of waves increases do the period of each wave decreases?
The frequency and period of a wave are inversely proportional. Therefore, as the frequency increases, the period decreases. frequency = 1/period period = 1/frequency
What is the frequency and time period and wave length of waves if 10 waves pass every 20 seconds?
To get the frequency, divide the number of waves (10) by the time it takes for those waves to pass (20). The answer is in hertz.The period is the reciprocal of the frequency. There is not enough information to determine the wavelength.
What would the frequency be if an observer noticed 6 waves in 2 seconds?
6 waves/2 seconds = 3 waves per second = 3 Hz.
