Since there are several kinds of waves, there are several ways to measure their frequency.
Electrical waves can be measured with a frequency counter, an analog frequency meter or an oscilloscope.
Ocean waves' frequency is measured with a stopwatch, but most people who measure ocean waves want to know how large they are rather than how fast they're coming.
What else can I help you with?
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
What is the measure of a wave's energy?
frequency
What the hertz is used to measure this characteristic of a wave?
Hertz is used to measure the frequency of a wave, which represents the number of complete wave cycles that occur in one second.
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
The equation used to measure wave speed is: Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
How do you find the period of a wave without the frequency?
You will have to measure it.
What does wave frequency measure?
The frequency expresses how many complete cycles of the wave pass a certain point every second.
What do you measure using units called hertz?
wave frequency.
What does wave frequency a measure of?
How many oscillations per second
What is the unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave?
The unit of measure for the frequency of a sound wave is hertz (Hz), which represents the number of cycles or vibrations per second.
Hertz Hz is the unit used to measure a wave's?
Hertz means cycles per second. That is its' frequency.
Why does a wave have a frequency of one hertz?
A wave can have any frequency, not just one Hertz.
What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?
Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.
