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
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).
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.
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
What is an invisible radiation having the longest wavelength?
radio waves
What is it called when waves are farther apart?
When waves are farther apart, it is referred to as having a longer wavelength.
An ocean of age has a wavelength of 10 meters that's waves pass by a stationary boat every 2o seconds what is the speed of the waves?
The speed of the waves can be calculated using the formula: speed = wavelength / period. Plugging in the values: speed = 10m / 20s = 0.5 m/s. So, the speed of the waves is 0.5 meters per 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
What are two ways of electromagnetic waves are different from each other?
Frequency: Electromagnetic waves differ in frequency, with radio waves having lower frequencies than visible light waves. Wavelength: Electromagnetic waves differ in wavelength, with gamma rays having shorter wavelengths than microwaves.
An ocean wave has a wavelength of 10 meters. These waves pass by a stationary boat every 2.0 seconds. What is the speed of the waves?
The speed of the wave can be calculated using the formula: speed = wavelength / period. In this case, the wavelength is 10 meters and the period is 2.0 seconds. Therefore, the speed of the waves is 5 m/s.
What are the things that can be measured about waves?
Speed, wavelength, frequency, period, amplitude, intensity.
When there are more waves passing through the reference point in a period of time .what happen to the wave length of the wave?
When more waves pass through a reference point in a given period of time, the wavelength remains the same. The wavelength of a wave is determined by the source that produces it, and passing more waves through a point does not change the wavelength.
What do electromagnetic waves vary in?
Electromagnetic waves vary in their frequency and wavelength, which are inversely related. Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point per second, while wavelength is the distance between successive wave peaks. Additionally, electromagnetic waves also vary in their energy, with higher frequency waves having higher energy levels.
What is a waves speed if its length is 72 and its period is 5 seconds?
The formula to calculate wave speed is speed = wavelength / period. Plugging in the values given: 72 / 5 = 14.4 m/s. Therefore, the wave speed is 14.4 meters per second.
