It just does dude!
The scientific term for the rate at which waves oscillate in cycles is frequency. It is measured in hertz (Hz), which represents the number of cycles per second.
Hz = cycles/second. Therefore, at 2Hz, you're generating two complete cycles (or what I believe you refer to as waves) every second. So 2 cycles x 60 seconds = 120 cycles per minute. 120 cycles x 5 minutes = 600 cycles.
The number of cycles a particle riding the waves passes through in a given amount of time is determined by the frequency of the waves. The frequency is the number of complete cycles of the wave that pass a given point in one second. So, to calculate the number of cycles the particle goes through in a certain time period, you would multiply the frequency of the waves by the duration of time.
frequency
Cycles per second is the correct unit for mechanical waves. Hertz (Hz) is the correct unit for electromagnetic waves like light, radio, and microwaves. Most people use Hertz for everything, but that is not correct usage.
The number of complete waves or cycles of a wave is determined by the number of times the wave reaches its peak and trough within a given period of time. It is typically measured in terms of frequency, which represents the number of cycles per second (Hertz).
Yes, high frequency waves are always affected by solar cycles.
frequency ..... A+
The unit hertz is used to measure frequency, which represents the number of cycles of a periodic waveform that occur per second. It is commonly used to quantify the frequency of electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, light waves, and sound waves.
The number of cycles a wave is doing per second.
longer waves= lower pitch
If the frequency of the light is 650000000000000 cycles per second, then 650000000000000 waves of this light pass by in one second.
