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.

What is the term that represents how fast a wave oscillates?

The term that represents how fast a wave oscillates is called frequency. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) and refers to the number of oscillations or cycles of a wave that occur in a given time period, typically one second. Higher frequencies indicate a faster oscillation rate, while lower frequencies indicate a slower oscillation rate.


How many cycles and vibrations are in 1 wavelength?

In one wavelength, there is one cycle and one full vibration. The cycle represents one complete oscillation or wave pattern, while the vibration corresponds to one complete back-and-forth motion of the wave.


Is 1 Hz is 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.


What does a wave frequency measure?

Wave frequency measures the number of complete wave cycles that pass a given point in a unit of time, usually measured in hertz (Hz). It indicates how many times a wave oscillates back and forth within a specific timeframe.


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.


Does an electromagnetic wave have amplitude wavelength and frequency?

Yes, an electromagnetic wave has an amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. The amplitude represents the wave's maximum displacement from its midpoint, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of the wave, and the frequency is the number of complete wave cycles that pass a certain point in one second.


Can waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?

no they cant they have to be the same they complete each other


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.


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 is the frequency of a transverse wave determined?

The frequency of a transverse wave is determined by the number of complete wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a given unit of time, usually measured in hertz (Hz). It is related to the wavelength and speed of the wave by the equation: frequency = speed/wavelength.


How many cycles per second are there in a frequency of 140 Hz?

There are 140 cycles per second in a frequency of 140 Hz. This means that the signal oscillates or completes a full cycle 140 times in one second.
