If its wavelength is 50 meters with a period of 6.5 seconds it means it is traveling at 50 meters every 6.5 seconds or 50/6.5 = 7.7 meters/sec.

What decreases as the frequency of a sound wave increases?
Wavelength.
What are the SI units for speed of light?
Wavelength is in meters, the frequency is in hertz. period is in seconds and the wave speed is in meters per second.
How is the velocity of a periodic wave related to its frequency and wavelength?
The period is defined as: the time needed to complete one cycle.Frequency is the number of cycles per second .that's where the relation came from ...the mathematics representation of the relation is : frequency = 1/period orperiod = 1/frequency .hope u got it.
If a car travels 75 km per hour how many meters does the car travel in 1 minute?
The average velocity during that period is 50 kilometers per hour north.
What is the time taken to complete a wavelength called?
period
If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006 what is the velocity of the wave?
The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
How do you find the period of the wave?
Period = Wavelength / Velocity
How do you calculate the speed of a wave?
you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
What is the velocity of a tsunami with a wavelength of 125 miles and a period of 15 minutes?
velocity=500 miles per hour
What is the equation or the formula of period?
T=1/f or T=wavelength/ velocity
A water wave has a frequency of 6 Hz and a wavelength of 3 m What is the period of these waves and What is the wave velocity?
Period = 1 / (frequency) = 1 / 6th of a second = [166 and 2/3] millisecondsSpeed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = 6 x 3 = [18] meters per second
What is the speed of a wave 30 meters long with a period of 5 seconds?
Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (period) = 30/5 = 6 meters per second
What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 2.5cm and a period of 78sec?
78*2.5 cm = 195 cm
What is the frequency of a wave if the wavelength is 10 meters and period is 5 seconds?
The frequency is 1/5 = 0.2 Hertz. The wavelength is irrelevant in this question.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
What will the wavelength of a wave do if the period of the wave increases?
The wavelength will increase if the period increases.Proof:First define the terms: Wavelength = Lamda (λ), Velocity of propagation = v, frequency = f, period of oscillation = T. Frequency asks "how many waves per unit time (seconds usually)".Period asks "How much time (seconds) does it take for one wave cycle to complete".Also, frequency is inversely proportional to period, so f = 1/T. Also, T = 1/f.(Incidentally, note that as period (T) increases, then frequency (f) gets decreases. Or if frequency increases, then period decreases.)λ = v/forλ = vT. (by replacing f with 1/T)If the frequency decreases, OR/AND the velocity increases, then wavelength corespondingly increases.If the period increases OR/AND the velocity increases, then the wavelength increases.
