That depends on the information available. You can try to measure the frequency, with specialized equipment. Or, you might measure the wavelength and the speed instead, and use the basic relationship for waves (speed = wavelength x frequency).
Period = 1/frequency = 1/500 = 0.002 second = 2 milliseconds
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency
The wave length would necessarily be one half. The speed would remain the same independent of the frequency.
You will have to measure it.
Think about it.
Compressional!
compressional
A rarefaction is found in a compressional wave
A sound wave is a compressional wave, which means the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This compression and rarefaction of particles create the variations in pressure that we perceive as sound.
Period = 1/frequency = 1/500 = 0.002 second = 2 milliseconds
The spread-apart portion of a compressional wave is called a rarefaction. In a compressional wave, particles are pushed together (compression) and then spread apart (rarefaction) as the wave passes through a medium.
Well, I take it you mean a wave in the air, like a sound wave (alternating compressions of air). Volume of a sound wave ( a type of compressional wave) is our perception of its amplitude, the amplitude is a measure in the intensity of the waves, or the amount of variation in air pressure. Our perception of pitch varies with the frequency, or how frequently the alternations in air pressure persist.
To find the frequency of a wave using its wavelength, you can use the formula: frequency speed of the wave / wavelength. The speed of the wave is a constant value, so you can divide the speed by the wavelength to calculate the frequency.
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

A compressional wave is a type of wave that moves by causing particles in a medium to compress and expand in the same direction as the wave is moving. These waves are also known as longitudinal waves. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
