What would the frequency of the wave be if you counted 10 crests in 5s?

If 10 crests pass you in 5 seconds, then they're sailing by at the rate of 2 crests per second.
That's a frequency of 2 cycles per second which, after conversion of units, is equivalent to 2 Hz.

How does changing the frequency affect the wave speed?
The speed of a wave doesn't depend on its frequency.
How do you calculate the frequency of a wave?
Divided the wave's speed by its wavelength.
If 100 cycles of sine wave in 10 sec. the sine would have a?
frequency of 10 hertz
If a wave has frequency of 20 Hz what is the period of the wave?
.05 seconds
A radio wave has a wavelength of 0.3 m and travels at a speed of 300000000 ms. What is the frequency of this wave?
The frequency is 1000000000 Hz.
The distance between successive crests or troughs determines wave?
Wave length.
What is the frequncey of a wave?
Frequency of the wave is the number of crests passing at a point in one second. Actually crests are not passing through, but it appears so.
Horizontal distance between two wave crests?
Depends what the frequency is.
What happens to the speed of a wave on a string when the frequency is lowered?
Frequence of a wave is how often a string oscillates on a specific point between crests. So if the speed of the string is lowered, the crests of the wave will pass the point less often, causing lower frequency
What is number of wave crests or troughs that pass one place each second?
That's the wave's frequency.
What determines the wavelengths of a wave?
The distance between the either the crests or troughs of one cycle in a wave.
Sound is an example of a?
Longitudinal wave Which can be in turn interpreted as a transverse wave. It has frequency, amplitude, crests & through.
What are the five main parts of sound and light waves?
Waves have a repeating series of crests and troughs. The crests are where a wave's amplitude is at its maximum. Between every two successive crests is a trough, where the wave's amplitude is at its minimum. The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is the wavelength. The measure of how frequently new crests are formed is the frequency. The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.
The difference between frequency of a wave and the period of a wave?
Frequency: number of cycles per second. Period: the distance between two crests. The period depends not only on the frequency, but also on the wave's speed.
What is the number of wave crests that pass a place in one second called?
The number of wave crests passing a given place in one second is the frequency of the wave given in cycles per second, or Hertz.
What is the Ditstice Between Crests?
The distance between crests( like in ocean waves) is referred to as it's wave length. Wave length also has direct effect on it's frequency, how often the wave repeats.
The number of wave crests passing any given point per unit time is called the wave's?
frequency
