What is the period of the wave having waves at a rate of 3 per second and wavelength of 2cm?

The period is ' 1 ' divided by the frequency. (The reciprocal of the frequency.)
The question tells us the frequency . . . "3 per second".
So the period is 1/3rd of a second .
Having the frequency, the wavelength doesn't give us any more information (except that
now we know the speed of the wave, but that's irrelevant at the moment.)

What is the wavelength of two waves when the first wave has twice the frequency of the second?
The first has half the wavelength of the second
A water wave has a frequency of 6 Hz and a wavelength of 3 m What is the period of these waves and What is the wave velocity?
Period = 1 / (frequency) = 1 / 6th of a second = [166 and 2/3] millisecondsSpeed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = 6 x 3 = [18] meters per second
If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?
The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
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.
How do you prove that speed equals wavelength times frequency?
Frequency is the number of waves per second, i.e. 20Hz is 20 waves per second. Wavelength is obviously the length of each wave i.e 20m So if there are 20 waves per second, the distance it travels is the length of the wave multiplied by the number of waves in one second. The distance travelled in one second by the wave above is therefore 20 * 20m wich is 400m. The distance travelled in 1 second is 400m. Therefore every second, the wave travels 400m and thus the speed is 400meters per second (400m/s).
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)
What is the wavelength of two waves when the first wave has twice the frequency of the second?
The first has half the wavelength of the second
What is an invisible radiation having the longest wavelength?
radio waves
What is a waves speed if its length is 72 and its period is 5 seconds?
For any wave:speed = wavelength x frequency So, you must simply calculate the frequency first (it is 1/period), then multiply that by the wavelength.
A water wave has a frequency of 6 Hz and a wavelength of 3 m What is the period of these waves and What is the wave velocity?
Period = 1 / (frequency) = 1 / 6th of a second = [166 and 2/3] millisecondsSpeed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = 6 x 3 = [18] meters per second
What is describe by the frequency of a wave?
The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second
What is the wavelength of radio waves that have a frequency of 530MHz?
Wavelength = speed / frequency300,000,000 meters per second/530,000,000 per second = 56.6 centimeters
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 are the things that can be measured about waves?
Speed, wavelength, frequency, period, amplitude, intensity.
Light of a single wavelength and having all waves in phase is?
monochromatic, coherent
What waves have the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays are the waves with the shortest wavelength. The waves having highest frequency have the shortest wavelength. As gamma rays have the highest frequency starting from 10^19 and onwards so they have the shortest wavelength starting from 10^-11 and decreasing.
What is the wavelength of waves having a frequency of 215 hertz and a speed of 27 miles per second?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (27/215) mile = 0.1256 mile (rounded)-- 663.06 ft (rounded)-- 202.1 meters (rounded)
