Is frequency of a sound wave defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?
The _______ of a sound wave is defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time. Correct answer=frequency
Which is the term for the unit that measures wave frequency?
The unit of frequency is reciprocal time ... "per second", or Hertz.
The unit in which wave frequency is measured?
Hertz (Hz)
What wave characteristic determines energy of light wave?
Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point per unit of time. Amplittude is the distanc from the crest or trough of the wave to an imaginary line. The amout of energy used determines the amplitude and frequency of a wave.
How can you derive the unit of frequency from basic units?
If the wave speed is measured in m/s, the wave length is measured in m, and the wave speed divided by the wave length = the frequency, then: m/s / m = 1/s thus the unit of frequency is 1/s or s^-1
Hertz Hz is the unit used to measure a wave's?
Hertz means cycles per second. That is its' frequency.

What is waves frequency?
Frequencyis the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time
WHAT of a sound wave is defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?
frequency
What are the two equations that can be used to determine the speed of a wave?
The equation used for measuring the speed of a wave is the frequency of the wave times one wavelength. velocity= frequency * wavelength Frequency is defined as how many many cycles occur per second. The unit of measurement used for frequency is Hertz (Hz), because Hertz is equivalent to 1/s. (s=second) The wavelength depends on the type of wave you are dealing with, whether it be an open ended wave, a closed end wave, or just a standard wave. But for calculating speed you just need to remember frequency times wavelength.
What are the number of complete wave length per unit of times is called?
That's the "frequency" of the wave.
