The wavelength of a wave is the distance from the crest to the next crest of a wave, usually measured in metres. A wavelength is not a unit.

How do you convert frequency from meters to megahertz?

"Meters" is not frequency. It's wavelength. If you know the wavelength in meters, divide 300 by it, and the result is the frequency in MHz. If you know the frequency in MHz, divide 300 by it, and the result is the wavelength in meters.

How do you find wavelength in pm units?

To find wavelength in picometer (pm) units, you can use the formula: wavelength (pm) = wavelength (in meters) * 1e12. Simply multiply the wavelength value in meters by 1e12 to convert it to picometers.


What is the wavelength of these waves of 6 meters?

The wavelength of the wave is 6 meters. Wavelength is typically defined as the distance between two successive peaks or troughs of a wave.


A wave with a wavelength of meters and a height of meters will not be refracted in water with a depth more than how many meters?

To determine the maximum depth at which a wave will not be refracted, we can use the rule of thumb that the water depth should be at least half the wavelength. If the wavelength is ( \lambda ) meters, the critical depth for minimal refraction would be ( \lambda / 2 ) meters. Therefore, a wave will not be refracted in water with a depth greater than ( \lambda / 2 ) meters.


How do you label a wavelength?

you label a wavelength with amplitude, wavelength, through, and peak.


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of MM and a frequency of Hz?

The speed of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its frequency. (If you want to have the speed in meters/second, convert the wavelength to meters first.)


What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 0.0000240?

12.5 terahertz. If your wavelength is in meters.


The speed of sound in water is 1430 meters per second Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?

The formula to calculate wavelength is: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. Plugging in the values: wavelength = 1430 m/s / 286 Hz = 5 meters. Therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave traveling through the water is 5 meters.
