The question is incomplete. Frequency of what? If it refers to electromagnetic waves, you won't need even frequency to determine velocity (in a vacuum), because it will always be c (the speed of light). You can compute the speed of other kinds of waves if you know the frequency and wavelength, but not from frequency alone. The formula is frequency x wavelength = velocity If the waves are electromagnetic, and you have only frequency, you can compute the wavelength using the same formula.

How do you find acceleration when given only mass and velocity?

You can't. Acceleration is change in velocity. If given a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero.


How do you find the velocity when only distance given?

You cannot.


How to find potential energy when only mass and velocity time is given?

To get the potential energy when only the mass and velocity time has been given, simply multiply mass and the velocity time given.


How do you find the initial velocity given only distance?

You cannot.


How do you find the frequency and frequency density on a histogram when you are only given the class width?

To calculate the frequency density we will simply divide the frequency by the class width.


How do you find height if only velocity is given?

In that case, you don't have enough information.


Electromagnetic waves differ from each other in?

wavelength & frequency (but remember frequency is only a derivative of wavelength for any given propagation velocity) 'Amplitude' also varies (bigger waves!)


What speed radio wave with frequency 1000Hz?

All radio waves travel at light velocity ( 2.998 * 108 m / s)The relavant equation involved is:Velocity (fixed) = wavelength * frequencySo, with frequency given and velocity fixed, only wavelength remains to find.(2.998 * 108) = wavelength * 1000So:wavelength = (2.998 * 108) / 1000= 2.998 * 105 metres


How do you find the final velocity given only distancetimeand initial velocity?

v = 2s/t - u where u=initial velocity, v=final velocity, s = distance and t = time


How do you find velocity given only the time?

You cannot. You must have distance (or displacement). If you know it is from a standing start then accelaration will do.


How do you find the initial velocity given only the distance and the time traveled?

You can't. You need either the final velocity or the acceleration of the object as well, and then you can substitute the known values into a kinematics equation to get the initial velocity.


The string of a piano that produces the note middle C vibrates with a frequency of 262 Hz. If the sound waves produced by this string have a wavelength in air of 1.30 m what is the sound waves?

Question is to be corrected as to find the velocity of the sound waves Formula for velocity of the wave = frequency x wavelength Given frequency = 262 Hz and wavelength = 1.3 m So velocity = 262 x 1.3 = 340.6 m/s
