What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?
Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
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
How is frequency calculated?
Frequency is calculated by dividing the number of occurrences of an event by the time total time that you measured the experiment. This gives frequency units of Time^-1. When discussing waves (sound waves, x-rays etc...) , the frequency is measured using the following equation 1/(time between crests or troughs or any similar point on the wave)
The energy given off by burning fossil fuels can be measured in?
If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.If you refer to the units, energy is measured in joules.

What units is wavelength measured in usually?
Answer - meters or derivations of meters e.g micrometers, nanometers etc
What are the units of measure for sound?
Sound is measured in dB ( Decibels) for intensity and or Hz ( Hertz) for frequency or pitch.
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
What are the units which frequancy is measured in?
The physical dimension of frequency is reciprocal time. The unit is "per second", which has the special name of "Hertz".
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
Why is perimeter measured in units and area measured in sq units?
Because a perimeter is measured in linear units while an area is measured in square units.
When electricity leaves the power plant it is measured in what unit?
There are lots of different units for electricity, depending what aspect you want to measure (power, energy, current, voltage, frequency, etc.).For a power plant, some relevant units include: * Volt, for voltage * Ampere, for current * Watt, for power * Hertz, for frequency
Is the area measured in cubic units?
No, volume is measured in cubic units, area is measured in square units.
What unit is sound frequency measured in?
Frequency is measured in hertz. Cycles per second.
What is Wave frequency is measured by?
There are basically three characteristics. Frequency, wavelength and velocity are those three. Out of these three two could be measured relative to time. Frequency = number of oscillations or vibrations or rotations per second Velocity = distance covered by the disturbance in one second
How is frequency calculated?
Frequency is calculated by dividing the number of occurrences of an event by the time total time that you measured the experiment. This gives frequency units of Time^-1. When discussing waves (sound waves, x-rays etc...) , the frequency is measured using the following equation 1/(time between crests or troughs or any similar point on the wave)
