Period = Wavelength/Speed = 10mm/50,000 mm/s = 1/5000 s or 0.0002 seconds
The speed of the wave can be calculated using the formula: speed = wavelength / period. In this case, the speed of the wave is 10 meters / 20 seconds = 0.5 meters per second.
For any wave:speed = wavelength x frequency So, you must simply calculate the frequency first (it is 1/period), then multiply that by the wavelength.
The wavelength of a 250 Hz sound wave in air is approximately 1.4 meters. Wavelength is calculated by dividing the speed of sound in air (about 343 meters per second) by the frequency of the wave.
Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (period) = 30/5 = 6 meters per second
Frequency = speed/wavelengthPeriod = 1/frequency = wavelength/speed = (3,000,000)/(300,000,000) = 0.01 second
The velocity of a deepwater wave can be calculated using the formula v = L/T, where v is the velocity, L is the wavelength (50 meters), and T is the period (6.5 seconds). Substituting the values gives v = 50 meters / 6.5 seconds ≈ 7.69 m/s.
speed = distance over time = wavelength times frequency = 2 m times 10 hz = 20 m hz = 20 meters per second.
"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.
Frequency = speed/wavelengthPeriod = 1/frequency = wavelength/speed = 0.01/50 = 0.2 millisecond
Period = 1 / (frequency) = 1 / 6th of a second = [166 and 2/3] millisecondsSpeed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = 6 x 3 = [18] meters per second
If you multiply the wavelength (in meters) and the frequency (in Hertz), you will get the speed of the wave (in meters per second).
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.)
The speed of the wave can be calculated using the formula: speed = wavelength / period. In this case, the speed of the wave is 10 meters / 20 seconds = 0.5 meters per second.
If a wave is traveling at 5 meters per second (assuming that is what the question meant) and its wavelength is 20 meters, consider standing beside the wave and watching it pass. As the wave is 20 meters long and it is moving at 5 meters per second, it will take 4 seconds for the full cycle of the wave to pass an observer. That means its frequency is one cycle per 4 seconds. And - surprise! - that's the period of the wave. The period of the wave is 4 seconds.
