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.)

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 it called when waves are farther apart?

When waves are farther apart, it is referred to as having a longer wavelength.


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


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 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 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.
