That depends on the speed of the wave.

If you're talking about a sound wave in air, the speed is about 343 meters/sec.
The wavelength is

(343 / 1.01015) = 340 meters (rounded)

If you're talking about an electromagnetic wave in vacuum, the speed is 300,000,000 meters/sec.
The wavelength is

(300,000,000 / 1.01015) = 296,986 kilometers (rounded)

What is the number of waves of wavelength that pass a point each second is called?

The number of waves of a particular wavelength that pass a point each second is called the frequency of the wave. It is typically measured in hertz (Hz), where one hertz is equivalent to one wave passing a point per second.


A wave travels at 3 ms along a spring toy If the wavelength is 02 m what is the waves frequency?

Frequency = speed / wavelength = 3/0.2 = 15 Hertz


What is the wavelength of 60 hertz?

60Hz has a wavelength of 5000 meters.


What is the speed of 1000 waves travels 300 meters with 200 hertz?

Speed = frequency x wavelength. 200 hertz = 200 waves per second. These 200 waves will have a speed of 200*300 = 60,000 m/s The 1000 waves will have the same speed but it will take 5 times longer to travel the 300 metres.


The number of waves passing a point in one second is?

The number of waves passing a point in one second is called the frequency. It is measured in Hertz (Hz) and is equal to the reciprocal of the wavelength.


What unit do you use to measure waves?

Waves are commonly measured in units such as meters or feet for length or distance and Hertz (Hz) for frequency. Other units like amplitude, period, and wavelength are also used depending on the specific wave characteristic being measured.


Waves with a frequency of 2.0 hertz are generated along a string The waves have a wavelength of 0.50 meters The speed of the waves along the string is?

The speed of a wave is calculated by multiplying its frequency by its wavelength. In this case, the speed of the waves along the string would be 1.0 meters per second (2.0 Hz * 0.50 m).


What is the equation for wavelenght?

Several of them. Wavelength = speed of light/Hertz Wavelength = Planck's constant/mass of particle*Hertz And a few more that can be manipulated to find wavelength that I will let you discover on your own.


When the frequency and wavelength are known answerer?

Frequency refers to how many waves pass a fixed point in a unit of time. Frequency is measured in Hertz, or Hz, and one Hertz means a single wave passes a given fixed point in one second. Wavelength refers to the length of an entire wave, so either from crest to crest or trough to trough. If you know how many waves pass a given point in a unit of time, which is frequency, and how long the waves are, which is wavelength, you can find the wave's speed. For example, if a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz, so ten waves pass a given point in a second, and it has a wavelength of four meters, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength to find that the waves are traveling at 40 meters per second.


Which electromagnetic waves has the longest wavelength?

"radio waves" have longest wavelength..


How do you find the wavelengths in meters of radiation what frequencies?

Wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave, so wavelength = speed / frequency. In SI units, wavelength (in meters) = speed (in meters/second) / frequency (in Hertz). If you are talking about electromagnetic waves in avacuum, use 300,000,000 m/s for the speed.


What is the wavelength of radio waves emitted at 81.6 MHz when the speed of all electromagnetic waves in empty space is 3.00 x 1000000000 meters per second?

The wavelength of radio waves emitted at 81.6 MHz can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Plugging in the values, we get wavelength = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 81.6 x 10^6 Hz = 3.68 meters. Therefore, the wavelength of the radio waves emitted at 81.6 MHz is 3.68 meters.
