Verified answer

The frequency of a wave, represented by the letter f, is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The SI unit of cycles per second is called hertz or Hz. Hz can be expressed as a reciprocal second (s-1 or 1/s).

what are the frequencies of the following sinusoidal waves (a) i = Im sin 157 t, (b) e = Em sin 314 t

==============================

If 't' is in seconds, then the frequency of sin(157t) is 24.99 Hz,

and the frequency of sin(314t) is 49.97 Hz. (both rounded)

If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?

The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.


What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?

velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.


What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?

speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength


How does frequency of a wave compare with the frequency of the source?

The frequency of a radio wave compares to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it because the frequency of a radio wave is proportional to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it.


The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?

This is known as the frequency of the wave.


What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?

Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed


Formula for frequency of a wave?

frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength) frequency = 1/(period)


What is the frequency of a wave measured by?

The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.


How does the the frequency of a reflected wave compared to the frequency of a incoming wave?

It is double of the incoming wave.

What is determine by wave frequency?

The wave length w=v/frequency.


Can measuring a crest tell you that a wave has high frequency?

when a wave has a higher frequency, its waves are shorter. when a wave has a lower frequency, its waves are longer.
