The unit of frequency is always 'reciprocal time' ... "per second", "per minute", "per hour", etc.,
no matter what the speed or wavelength may be.
Examples:
Speed = 10 meters per second, wavelength = 2 meters.
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = (10 meters / sec) / (2 meters) = 5 per second.
Speed = 100 yards per hour, wavelength = 1 mile
Frequency = (speed/wavelength) = (100 yd/hour) / (1 mile) =
(100 yd/hour-mile)x(1 mile/1760 yd) = (100/1760) per hour.
Speed = 60 ft/sec, wavelength = 1 inch
Frequency = (speed/wavelength) = (60 ft/1 inch-sec) x (12 inch/ft) = 720 per sec.

What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?
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".
What is the speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 hertz and a length of 1.3 meters?
The equation to use in this case is:speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency If the frequency is in hertz, and the wavelength is in meters, the speed will be in meters/second.
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.
Find the speed of a wave with a frequency of 6 wavess and a wavelength of 8m?
Is that 6 waves per second? Wavelength of 8m? speed = 8 meters*6 per second =1.333 meters per second
What it the velocity of a sound wave with a frequency of 425 Hz and a wavelength of 0.75 m?
The speed is (frequency) x (wavelength) = 318.75 meters per second.
How do you convert frequency from meters to megahertz?
"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.
What is the wavelength of a wave with a speed of 30 meters per second and a frequency of 10 hertz?
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 30/10 = 3 meters
What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?
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 frequency of a wave that travels at a speed of 900 meters per second and a wavelength of 9 meters?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 900/9 = 100 Hz.
What is the wavelength of radio waves that have a frequency of 530MHz?
Wavelength = speed / frequency300,000,000 meters per second/530,000,000 per second = 56.6 centimeters
What is the speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 hertz and a length of 1.3 meters?
The equation to use in this case is:speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency If the frequency is in hertz, and the wavelength is in meters, the speed will be in meters/second.
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.
Find the speed of a wave with a frequency of 6 wavess and a wavelength of 8m?
Is that 6 waves per second? Wavelength of 8m? speed = 8 meters*6 per second =1.333 meters per second
What is the speed of wave if it has a wavelength of 4 meters and a frequency of 3 hertz?
(4 meters) x (3 per second) = 12 meters per second
What is the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 5 meters and a speed of 10 meters per second?
2 Hz
What is the speed of a wave if its wavelength is 0.02meters its frequencyis 400hz?
If you multiply the wavelength (in meters) and the frequency (in Hertz), you will get the speed of the wave (in meters per second).
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 2 m and a frequency?
The speed is (2 times the frequency) meters per second.
