Which wave has a greater frequency- wave a where a crest is seen once every second or wave b where a crest is seen some evry minute?
The wave that has a crest every second has a greater frequency.
What are the different properties of waves?
wavelength - the distance between the crest (or trough) of one wave, and the crest (or trough) of the next amplitude - the height or depth of the wave above or below the resting position frequency - measured in Hz which is cycles per second. frequency is how often the wave passes a given point. for instance, A.C. electricity in your home cycles at 60 Hz, this means that essentially, electric features in your home are having power cycled to them 60 times a second. a wave passing a given point five times every second would have a frequency of 5 Hz and so on and so forth. Hope this helped!
How fast does a sound vibrate?
Every second, it vibrates once for every Hertz of its frequency.
Which describes the frequency for a wave?
"Frequency" means how 'frequent' the wave is. How many wave 'bumps' pass you every second.
What does a wave frequency measure?
The frequency expresses how many complete cycles of the wave pass a certain point every second.
Which wave has a greater frequency- wave a where a crest is seen once every second or wave b where a crest is seen some evry minute?
The wave that has a crest every second has a greater frequency.
Does the wave frequency go up if more waves start passing a certain point every second?
Yes.

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.

Every second, it vibrates once for every Hertz of its frequency.

A boat at anchor is rocked by waves whose crest are 40m apart and whose speed is 10ms these waves reach the boat once every?
You are supposed to use the basic formula for waves: speed = wavelength x frequency. In this case, you have to solve for frequency. (The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.)
What is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point every second called?
Frequency
Why should wavelenth change due to frequency?
Because the speed of the wave usually is the same for different frequencies (or wavelengths). The basic formula is: c = (lambda) f - the speed of the wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency. For example, the speed of light is 300,000 km/sec; if two wave crests pass by you every second (frequency = 2 Hz), then the distance from one wave crest to the next is 150,000 km.
In what Refersto the number of wave passed through a particular point every second?
It is the frequency of the wave.
