"1 Hz" means that 1 complete wave passes the place where you're sitting each second. So regardless of what kind of wave it is or what its speed may be, if its frequency is 1 Hz, then it takes 1 second to travel 1 wavelength.

inversely ...wave length = 1/frequency
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

There's a HUGE difference between the two. I'll list them: ~ Wave 1 is discontinued ~ Wave 1 has brown hair, and Wave 3 has purple & green hair ~ Wave 3 comes with her little sister Howleen ~ Wave 1 comes with a pet, diary, stand, and hairbrush BUT wave 3 DOES NOT
Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
"1 Hz" means that 1 complete wave passes the place where you're sitting each second. So regardless of what kind of wave it is or what its speed may be, if its frequency is 1 Hz, then it takes 1 second to travel 1 wavelength.
Frequency = 1 / (period) = 1/6th Hz
1/frequency of wave

Frequency = 1 / (period) = 1/.4 = 2.5 Hz
1/4
here the distance between the two crests is 6mt so the wavelength of the wave is 6 m and 1 wave goes every 6 sec so the frequency of the wave is 1/t=1/6 so the velocity of wave is 3*(1/6)=1/2mt/sec
