A floating object oscillates up and down 2 complete cycles in 1 second as a water wave of wavelength 5 m passes by The speed of the wave is?

Just use the relationship: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. If the frequency is in hertz (cycles/second), and the wavelength in meters, then of course the speed will be in meters/second.


A floating leaf ascillates up and down two complete cycles each second as a water passes byWhat is the waves frequency?

2 complete cycles/second means 2 Hertz. - And there is really no need to repeat the questions dozens of times.


How does the frequency of vibration of a small object floating in water compare to the number of waves passing it each second?

The frequency of vibration of a small object floating in water is equivalent to the number of waves passing it each second. As the object moves up and down with the waves, it completes a vibration cycle with each wave that passes, thus the frequency of vibration matches the frequency of the waves passing by.


Does frequency refer to the number of times light rays are reflected off an object?

No, the frequency of light is the number of times a complete 'wavelength' of light (ignoring the photon-like nature of light) passes a fixed point in a second. Generally measured in Hertz (Hz).


What is number of cycles of a particle riding the waves passes through in a given amount of time?

The number of cycles a particle riding the waves passes through in a given amount of time is determined by the frequency of the waves. The frequency is the number of complete cycles of the wave that pass a given point in one second. So, to calculate the number of cycles the particle goes through in a certain time period, you would multiply the frequency of the waves by the duration of time.

What refers to the number of cycles a particle riding the wave passes through in a given amount of time?

The term you're looking for is frequency. Frequency is the number of complete cycles of a wave that occur in a given time period, typically measured in hertz (Hz).

How many passes did mark complete?

Mark finsh 40 passes


What is the frequncy of the wave if it is 2 meter high 8 meters long and the time needed to complete one wave is 8 seconds?

If one wave completes, or passes a point, every 8 seconds, then the frequency is 1/8 Hz. = 0.125. The dimensions have nothing to do with the frequency.


What is the number of waves that passes a point in one second?

That is called the frequency.
