The inverse of frequency is the period, which is the distance between two consecutive crests. If you are given frequency (f), period = 1/f

To find the inverse frequency of a wave, you simply take the reciprocal of the frequency value. For example, if the frequency of a wave is 10 Hz, the inverse frequency would be 1/10 Hz. This can be useful in certain calculations or when analyzing wave properties.

If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?

Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.


What does increasing the frequency of X or Gamma ray do to its wavelength?

Increasing the frequency of X or gamma rays decreases their wavelength. This is known as the inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength, where higher frequency corresponds to shorter wavelength and vice versa.


Determine the following for a wave traveling at 8 ms when each mark along the x y axis is equal to 0.02 m. the amplitude of the wave. the wavelength of the wave the frequency and period of the wave?

The amplitude of the wave is the distance from the center line to the peak (or trough) of the wave. Since the wave equation is not given, the amplitude cannot be determined from the provided information. The wavelength of the wave can be calculated by the formula wavelength = velocity / frequency, given that the velocity is 8 ms and the frequency is not provided. The frequency of the wave can be calculated by the formula frequency = velocity / wavelength, and the period (time for one cycle) is the inverse of the frequency.


Find the frequency of a sound wave that has a wavelength of 1.5 meter. Could you hear this sound?

To find the frequency, use the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. Assuming the speed of sound is 343 m/s, the frequency of the sound wave would be approximately 229 Hz. Yes, this frequency is within the audible range for humans, so you would be able to hear this sound.


Why does a wave have a frequency of one hertz?

A wave with a frequency of one hertz completes one full cycle (oscillation) in one second. The frequency of a wave is simply a measure of how many cycles it completes in a given time period.
