What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 60. meters and a frequency oof 6.0 hertz?
The speed of any wave is the product of wavelength x frequency. In this case, because of the units chosen (meters, and hertz, which is equal to 1/second), the speed will come out in meters/second.
What is the frequency when 300 waves pass a point in one minute?
Frequency = (how many in one second) = (1/60) of (how many in one minute) = (300/60) = 5 Hz.
Can frequency be in micro hertz?
Yes. The definition of "hertz" is a unit of frequency that occurs once every one second. If something occurs once every second, it does so at a rate of one hertz. If it occurs at a rate greater than once every second, such as ten times per second, then it occurs at a frequency greater than one hertz (10 hertz for this particular example). Going in the other direction, frequency can also be represented in measurements smaller than one (just as with anything else - milliamps in current being the first example to come to mind). Therefore, if something occurs at a rate slower than once per second, then it occurs at a frequency of less than one hertz. Since the ratio of frequency to time for hertz is 1:1, then it's easy to determine either the rate or the frequency by taking the reciprocal of whichever one you already have. An example would be that if something occurs at a rate of three times every second, then the ratio of frequency to rate would be 3:1, having a frequency of three hertz. If it occurs once every three seconds, then the ratio would be 1:3, meaning the frequency would be 1/3 hertz. Since one microhertz would be 1/1000000 of 1 hertz (or 1^-6 hertz), something can occur at a frequency of one microhertz if it only occurs once every 1000000 seconds. For a more easier understanding, that's roughly once every ~11.574 days. Or to make it more fun, you age at a rate of 1:(365.242199*24*60*60), which is at a frequency of ~31.557 microhertz. Probably drew out the explanation more than you needed, but hopefully it answered your question completely.
What is the length of a 60 hertz sine wave?
Period = 1/frequency = 1/60 = 16 and 2/3 milliseconds
How many waves are made in 3 minutes when then frequency is 0.25hertz?
"0.25 Hertz" means "0.25 per second".(0.25/second) x (60 sec/minute) x (3 minutes) = 45
How many hertz are in a Playstation?
In America we use 60 hertz power. It is changed to d.c. to operate the unit. Their processors run at high frequencies. Many megahertz. You have to know which system to know that frequency.
What is the frequency of household electricity?
In North America, it is 60 Hertz, and in Europe it is 50 hertz.
What is the Frequency residential electricity in USA?
60 Hertz
Will AC 220-240v 50hz battery charger work in America?
No, the U.S. electrical system is 60 hertz not 50 hertz. The only way you can use it is if the charger will operate at 50 & 60 hertz which is unlikely but possible. It will be listed on the charger if it will operate at a lower hertz.
Will 240 V support 50Hz?
Yes, 240 volts is generated at 50 Hertz. This is a European frequency where as the frequency generated in North America is 60 Hertz.
How do you test for 60 hertz?
A frequency meter is needed to test for frequency. Some of the upscale process meters have the ability to test for frequency.
What is the frequency of the alternating voltage and current typically used in the US?
60 Hertz
What is the frequency of AC current in North America?
In North America 60 Hertz. Europe 50 Hertz.
How many Volts is 60 Hz?
There is no fixed connection between frequency (Hertz) and voltage, you can have 60 Hz at any voltage.
A wave has a wavelength of 15 mm and a frequency of 4.0 hertz What is its speed?
60 mm/s
What note corresponds to a frequency of 60 hertz?
Assuming the frequency of Middle C to be 261.63 hertz, accurate to two decimal places, taking this two octaves down brings us to 65.41 hertz. Sending us down a further semitone gives us 65.41 x 1/21/12, which sends us to B, at a frequency of 61.74 hertz, accurate to two decimal places, the closest possible genuine note to a 60 hertz frequency. Effectively, this is the third B below middle C, including that which is a semitone below.
What do alternating currents do'?
It is an alternating current that switches its polarity 60 times in a second. 60 Hertz is the frequency that electricity is generated in the U.S.
