The speed of a wave does not depend on its frequency. We would only need to know

what kind of a wave it was ... whether sound, earthquake, ocean, electromagnetic, etc. ...

and what substance it was moving through at the time, and we could either calculate

or look up its speed, without ever knowing its frequency.

What is the period in seconds of 0.2 Hz?

if 1 Hz is a frequency occuring each second, then 0.2Hz is the fifth of 1Hz.. then 1/5 second is it right?


Name three types of electromagnetic waves?

I'll just quote "Fields and Waves in Modern Radio", by Ramo/Whinnery, 2nd edition, page 318: 1. TEM (transverse electromagnetic waves), 2. TM (transverse magnetic waves), 3. TE (transverse electric waves).


What are wavelengths?

A wave can be thought of as a vibrating disturbance by which energy is transmitted. Waves are characterized by their height and Length. Consider water waves in the ocean: They have peaks and troughs and move on one direction.A wavelength (symbolized in chemistry by the Greek letter lambda) is the distance from the center of one peak of a wave to the center of the next peak of the next wave ( water wave, radio wave, electromagnetic, etc.). The frequency symbolized by a "v" (called nu ) is the number of waves that pass through a particular point in one second.There is another term in association with wavelength called amplitude. Amplitude is the vertical distance from the midline of a wave to the peak or trough.The speed ( u ) of a wave is the product of its wavelength and frequency: u=lambda (v)A wavelength is usually expressed in units of meters, centimeters, or nanometers (1 x 10 -9 meters), and frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), were 1Hz= 1 cycle per second.Reference: Chemistry by chang 10th


What does frequency of 1Hz means?

Hertz, named after the German Physicist Heinrich Hertz, are the measurement of frequency, current, and electricity, their uses are common in many fields, sound waves, radiation, hertz are even used to represent the speed of your computer. Hertz come in 21 tiers of measurement - listed from smallest to largest: Yoktohertz Zeptahertz Attohertz Femtohertz Picohertz Nanohertz Microhertz Millihertz Centihertz Decihertz Hertz Dekahertz Kilohertz Megahertz Gigahertz Terahertz Petahertz Exahertz Zettahertz Yottohertz 1 hertz = 1 cycle per second (cps)


A wave with period of 0.0008 second has frequency of?

125 cycles per second or 125 Hz. A wave that has a period of 0.008 seconds has a period of 0.008 seconds per cycle. If you have 0.008 seconds per cycle, you have one cycle per 0.008 seconds. And one cycle per 8/1000 seconds is 1 x 1000 / 8 cycles per second, which is 125 cycles per second. As regards waves, frequency and period are reciprocals. By definition, 1/frequency equals period, and 1/period equals frequency.

What is the smallest amount of light?

If the photon is having very less frequency (say v=1Hz) ,then the Energy of such photon will be the smallest one. It can be inferred that the smallest unit of light energy will correspond to the smallest frequency of such quanta. But from the uncertainty principle it limits the energy of a quanta.
