If it vibrates up and down twice each second, its frequency is 2 Hz.
Its speed makes no difference.
The wave speed is equal to the frequency multiplied by the wavelength. In this case, since the wave vibrates up and down twice per second (frequency = 2 Hz) and travels a distance of M each second, its wave speed would be 2M/s.
Frequency: 20 waves per 2 seconds = 10 waves per second = 10 Hz.Wavelength: Double the distance between crest and adjacent trough = 3 meters.Speed: (frequency) x (wavelength) = 10 x 3 = 30 meters per second.
"1 Hz" means that 1 complete wave passes the place where you're sitting each second. So regardless of what kind of wave it is or what its speed may be, if its frequency is 1 Hz, then it takes 1 second to travel 1 wavelength.
They aren't comparable. "Meter" is a length, while "Hertz" is a frequency.
The wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 1 hertz is 1 meter. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave, and it is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave.
Wavelength = speed / frequency300,000,000 meters per second/530,000,000 per second = 56.6 centimeters
Im fairly sure that its frequency multiplied by wavelength. Frequency is essentially waves per second, since hertz is cycles per second, so its distance (metres) times frequency (cycles per second), which gives speed (metres per second).
A wave travels an average distance of 1 meter in 1 second with a frequency of 1 hertz Its amplitude is that there is not enough information to say. A 60 vibration per second wave travels 30 meters in 1 second, its frequency is 60 hertz and it travels 30 meters per second.
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (300 million meters/sec) / (1.760 GHz) = 17 centimetersDivide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (cycles/second). The answer will be in meters.
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 350/640 = 54.7 centimeters (rounded)
Frequency is measured by hertz, or Hz. 1 Hz is a frequency of one cycle per second, and as such a frequency of 60 flashes per second would yield 60 Hz.
The distance a wave goes in a single cycle is determined by a few things. The most important is the frequency, or how many cycles are in a second. The speed of a wave is also important, as it is independent from the frequency.
The wave speed is equal to the frequency multiplied by the wavelength. In this case, since the wave vibrates up and down twice per second (frequency = 2 Hz) and travels a distance of M each second, its wave speed would be 2M/s.
Frequency is the number of wavelenghts passing though a given point in one second. Wavelength is the distance between two crest or troughs. The relationship between wavelenght and frequency is given by f = 1/wavelength. where f = frequency
To calculate the distance a cockroach, crawling at a speed of 1.5 centimeters per second, would cover in an hour, we need to convert the time from seconds to minutes and then to hours. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so the cockroach covers: 1.5 centimeters/second * 60 seconds/minute = 90 centimeters/minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the cockroach covers: 90 centimeters/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 5400 centimeters/hour. Therefore, the cockroach would cover 5400 centimeters or 54 meters in an hour.
The distance light takes to travel in a second (just less than 30000000metres).
Frequency is the number of waves per second, i.e. 20Hz is 20 waves per second. Wavelength is obviously the length of each wave i.e 20m So if there are 20 waves per second, the distance it travels is the length of the wave multiplied by the number of waves in one second. The distance travelled in one second by the wave above is therefore 20 * 20m wich is 400m. The distance travelled in 1 second is 400m. Therefore every second, the wave travels 400m and thus the speed is 400meters per second (400m/s).
