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 oscillates up down two complete cycle each second as a water wave passes by what is the waves frequency?
Say what! the question no makey sense to moi
Is 1 Hz equal to 1 wavelength passing a stationary point in 1 minute?
1 Hz is the number of complete cycles of a wave in one second. If after 1 second there is 5 complete cycles of the wave, that means the frequency is 5 Hz.
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.
What is the distance between one point of a wave to the same point of the next wave?
That is incorrect.The distance of one complete wave cycle (for example, from one wave crest to the next) is called the wave's wavelength.The number of cycles per second is called the frequency.
Is wavelength the number of wave cycles in a given unit of time?
no, it's frequency

What is the difference between freqeuency and wavelength?
Frequency is how many cycles per second there are, while wavelength is the actual length of the wave from peak to peak or trough to trough. Frequency is related to wavelength, since the shorter the wavelength to more cycles per second (waves passing per second). Frequency is v/L where L is the wavelength and v is the phase velocity.
How many cycles are there in one wavelangth?
A wavelength by definition is the amplitude of motion over one cycle
Is wavelength the number of wave cycles in a given unit of time?
no, it's frequency
If the wavelength of light increases the frequency?
As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases. A wavelength is the distance from, say, a crest to a crest, or perhaps a trough to a trough. Frequency is essentially how many waves or how many cycles of a wave there are per unit of time, and we usually apply the term cycles per second or Hertz (which means cycles per second) to it.Wavelength is the physical distance the wave will travel as a single cycle of that wave occurs. And wavelength is a function of both frequency and of the speed of propagation of that wave. In any case, a longer wavelength is associated with a lower frequency. Increasing (lengthening) the wavelength decreases the frequency.
Does the sun's electromagnetic radiation include radio wave?
There's likely a reason it its not there, the sun oscillates at 64000 cycles per second, so it should create harmonics of radio waves.
What is the frequency of a wave whose wavelength is 5 cycle and whose frequency is 5Hz?
The answer is in the question! 5 Hz Also, a wavelength cannot be 5 cycles - wrong units.
What is the difference between a low note and a high note?
high note has high frequency (cycles per second) . Low note has low frequency. The sound originated by a high frequency note oscillates more times per second, while a low frequency note oscillates less times per second.
