Just divide the speed by the frequency. Since SI units are used, the wavelength will be in meters.

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 the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds?
period and frequency are reciprocals period (T) = 1/frequency (1/f) period = 1/18
If 18 waves pass the observer in 30 seconds the frequency isA?
18/30 = 0.6 Hz.
What is 18 meters in speed?
You need to say the time in which that distance was travelled also to work out speed. Remember, speed is distance/time
A model airplane flies 18 feet in 2 seconds What is the speed in miles per second?
The plane's speed is 6.136363636 mph.
The wavelength of a sound wave is 18 cm. The frequency of the wave is 1900 Hz. What is the speed of the sound wave?
Convert the wavelength to meters. Then simply multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The answer will be in meters/second.
What is the frequency of oceon waves that have a speed of 18 miles per second and wavelength of 50m?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) =(18 miles per second) x (1,609.344 meters per mile) / (50 meters) = 579.4 Hz (rounded)This speed and frequency is awfully high for a water wave, but the math is the math.
A wave with a frequency of 18 hz has a wavelength of 4 meters what is the velocity of the wave?
speed = wavelength x frequency therefore, you would solve this by multiplying 18 and 4 to find the speed. There isn't enough information to find the velocity. In fact, it's doubtful whether it's even appropriate to talk about the 'velocity' of a wave. 'Velocity' is not simply a word you use instead of 'speed' in order to sound smart.
Determine the energy and wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 3.6X 1016 hertz Would this be a wave of interest to nuclear medicine?
assuming the wave is electromagnetic... the energy of a single photon of that frequency is given by the formula E=hf where E= energy of the photon h=the Planck constant f= the frequency of the photon From this the energy of the photon is the Planck constant (6.63 x10-34) multiplied by the frequency 3.6x1016 Hz. E= 23.9x10-18 Joules. The wavelength of any wave is determined by the equation wave speed = frequency x wavelength. thus, the wavelength is the wave speed divided by the frequency. since all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light then... wavelength = 3x108 / 3.6x1016 wavelength = 0.83x10-8 = 8.3x10-9 metres. The electromagnetic radiation corresponding to this energy and wavelength is ultraviolet radiation and may be of interest to nuclear medicine.
What is the wavelength of a wave with frequency of 6.0 x 10 18?
speed = wavelength x frequency, so it can't be done unless you know the speed. However if it's an electromagnetic wave the speed is about 3 x 108 km/s so the wavelength is 3 x 108/6 x 1018 km = 5 x 10-11 km
What is the wavelength of an X-ray with a frequency of 8.0 x 10 power 18 Hz?
If you divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in Hz), you get the wavelength (in meters).
What is the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 18 kHz near the high end of your hearing range?
Lambda( Wavelength) = velocity/frequency Frequency = 18 x 10^3 Hz Velocity = Speed of sound = 340m/s wavelength = 340/18x10^3 = 17/900 m
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 type of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of approximately 10-10 meter and a frequency of 10-18 hertz?
x-ray
Why wavelenth doesnt change with speed of light?
It's actually the speed of light that doesn't change. The equation for wavelength is: WL= f/c or, wavelength (m) = frequency (cycles per second or Hz) / the speed of light (3x10^8 m/s). ***Notice that this equation implies that wavelength and frequency are inversely related. This means that as wavelength increases frequency decreases and vice versa.*** Light is the only constant in the equation meaning wavelength changes as frequency changes, but the speed of light doesn't change. Electromagnetic waves all travel at the speed of light. The only difference between an infrared wave (10^12 Hz) and a gamma wave (10^18 Hz) is a matter of frequency. In the case of visible light, the frequency is measured a bit more specifically using nanometers, a billionth of a meter. These range from about 400-750 nanometers. Find an electromagnetic spectrum that shows wavelength, frequency and a zoomed in picture of visible light. Pay attention to the relationships and patterns. It'll make this a lot easier to understand.
Violet light has the shortest wave length?
No violet light does not have the shortest wavelength. Cosmic rays have the shortest wavelenght which is 10-18 m. Due to its shortest wavelength it has the highest frequency and thus it travels the largest distance.
What is frequency of ultraviolet light with wavelength 2.94x10-8m?
You need to use the equation c= wavelength * frequency , where c is the speed of light (2.99792458 * 108 m/s) Solve the equation for frequency, frequency=c/wavelength frequency = 1.02 * 1016 s-1 or the unit could be Hz which equals 1 s-1
