-- If the ocean waves lap the shore every 15 seconds then their frequency is 1/15 Hz.
-- If the waves come every 30 seconds then the frequency is 1/30 Hz.
-- If the waves come every minute (60 seconds) then their frequency is 1/60 Hz.

If an ocean wave has a frequency of 0.05Hz and a wavelength of 10 meters what is the wave's speed?
10m x 0.05 /sec = 0.5 m/s 20 hz
How long is a 100 hz wave?
A 100 Hz electromagnetic wave has length of about 1,862.82 miles.
An ocean wave can have a cycle that lasts 5 seconds What is its frequency?
if the cycle lasts 5 seconds, then the frequency is 0.2 Hz
A certain wave has a wavelength of 35 meters and a frequency of 4.0 Hz What is the speed of the wave?
5.0 hz
What is the frequency of ripple components in the output of capacitor filter?
It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.
When a sound wave with a frequency of 256 Hz overlaps with a sound wave with a frequency of 250 Hz what would the frequency of the beats be?
There should be two beat frequencies produced: 506 Hz and 6 Hz.
What is the period of a 8000 Hz sine wave?
The period of an 8000 Hz sine wave is 0.125 milliseconds. (1/8000)
What is the frequency of a 55 Hz wave?
The frequency 55 Hz has a wavelength of about 6.23meters.
Which travels faster a sound wave of 150 Hz or a sound wave of 700 Hz?
The speed is almost the same, for different frequencies.
If a wave has frequency of 20 Hz what is the period of the wave?
.05 seconds
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 10 m and a frequency of 34 hz?
340 m/s
What is the wavelength of a 440 Hz wave in air?
For 440 Hz: λ = about 423.37 miles.
