The of a wave is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second?

It is the frequency.


What is wave frequncy?

it is the number of wavelengths that pass a given point in 1 second.


If seven wavelengths pass in one second - what is the frequency?

7 hertz. Since frequency of the wave motion is defined as the number of waves ie number of wavelengths crossing a particular point in the medium in one second.


How many wavelengths pass by you in one second?

The number of waves that pass a certain point per second is called the FREQUENCY. The unit is the hertz (cycles per second).


What is frequency of a measure of?

the number of waves per second (APEX)


The number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second is?

No that is frequency. Wavelength is how long it takes one wave to pass a certain point fully once


What is being measured when you count how many wavelengths pass a given point per second?

The wave's frequency is.


What is the frequency of a wave when one wave passes in 8 seconds?

Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which is the number of wavelengths that pass in one second. Since one wavelength is passing every eight seconds, the frequency is 1/8 Hz.


What does the number of wavelengths that pass a given point in one second measured in hertz mean?

Some Definitions 1 hertz is one repetition of a sine wave from 0 to maximum positive amplitude back through zero to maximum negative amplitude and back to zero, ie alternating current or a radio wave Frequency is defined as the number of hertz ie repetitions of the cycle (hertz) in one second Wavelength is the distance from end to end of one hertz/cycle these properties are related and are expressed by the following equation velocity = frequency times wavelength the number of wavelengths that pass a given point in one second if expressed in hertz would be the frequency


Number of waves to pass a point in a second?

Frequency.


What is the number of crests and troughs that pass a point per second?

That is twice the frequency. Frequency is equal to the number of complete cycles which pass a point per second.
