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 frequncy of the wave if it is 2 meter high 8 meters long and the time needed to complete one wave is 8 seconds?
If one wave completes, or passes a point, every 8 seconds, then the frequency is 1/8 Hz. = 0.125. The dimensions have nothing to do with the frequency.
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.
How are the period and the frequency of a wave reletated?
The period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. While, the frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.
How are frequency and period related in waves?
Mathematically, frequency = (1/Period) Conceptually, the period is how long it takes a wave to begin repeating itself. For example, if I start a stopwatch when the wave reaches its peak, and then stop timing when it reaches its next peak, the time on the stopwatch is the period. The frequency is how far the wave gets in 1 second. Some examples: If it take a wave 30 seconds to go through one cycle, the period is 30 seconds. In 1 second, it gets only 1/30 of the way through its cycle. Its frequency is 1/30 then. If a wave repeats itself 10 times in 1 second, its frequency is 10. It's period must be 1/10 of a second.
If the frequency of a given wave is 10 Hz what is the period of the wave?
The relationship to be kept in mind is that the time period, which is the time take for one complete oscillation, is the reciprocal of frequency (the number of oscillations completed in one second). That is, T = 1/f where Period T, is measured in seconds Frequency f, is measured in Hertz. In your specific case, if f = 10 Hz, T = 0.1 s.
What is the frequncy of the wave if it is 2 meter high 8 meters long and the time needed to complete one wave is 8 seconds?
If one wave completes, or passes a point, every 8 seconds, then the frequency is 1/8 Hz. = 0.125. The dimensions have nothing to do with the frequency.
What is the number of cycles of a wave that passes a stationary point in one second is called its?
Wave Frequency.
If you make a wave in a rope so that one wave passes every second what is its frequency?
1 hertz.
If you make wave in a rope so that one wave passes every second what is it frequency?
1 cps
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 do you calculate the period of a wave of frequency 75 Hz?
The period is the reciprocal of the frequency, in other words, one divide by the frequency. If the frequency is in Hertz, the period is in seconds.
What is the frequency of a wave that has 5 seconds between one crest and the next?
Frequency = 1/(time period) so frequency = 1/5 =0.2 Hz
What is your frequency?
Frequncy is the speed of an electrical wave through a conducting material.for example a wave of frequency 50 Hz takes 20 milli seconds(1/50) to complete one cycle.
How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
Why does a wave have a frequency of one hertz?
A wave can have any frequency, not just one Hertz.
How can you find the frequency of a transverse wave by counting?
Count the number of waves passing a point in one second. That is frequency. Or count waves for 10 seconds and divide by 10.
Number of waves produced per second?
This is known as the frequency of the wave and has the unit Hertz. Hertz is capitalized because it was named after a real person.The reciprocal of frequency is the period of the wave. That is the time in seconds for one wave to pass.
