No, frequency is the function of peak/trough pairs per unit time. Speed is the measure of how long it takes to travel a given distance.

How are amplitude wave length and frequency connected?

Amplitude is the height of a wave, while wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave. Frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that occur in one second. These three properties are interconnected through the wave equation: speed = frequency x wavelength. In this equation, the speed of the wave remains constant, so changes in frequency will result in changes in wavelength and vice versa.


What is the difference between nuclear power and atomic power?

Nuclear power and atomic power refer to the same thing, which is the generation of electricity through nuclear reactions. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe the process of producing energy from splitting atoms in a controlled manner.


What has the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?

There is no such thing as the highest frequency. Since photons or electromagnetic travel at the speed of light its frequency correlates to the energy. The highest energy, and thus the highest frequency, is found in cosmic radiation, where a single photon may carry many millions of kiloelectronvolts.


Does motion create speed?

Motion and speed are synonymous terms, with just a slight difference of emphasis. Speed suggests fast motion. Other than that, they are the same thing. Speed is a form of motion, so in that sense, motion does crreate speed. Obviously, an object that is not moving has a speed of zero.


In a vacuum a certain wave of light has a wavelength of 400 nanometers What is the wave's frequency?

The equation needed is: V=fl Where V is the speed, f is the frequency and l is the wavelength. (the poxy thing won't let me enter a lamba sign) The key bit of information is "in a vacuum"; all waves in a vacuum travel at the same speed, 3x108ms-1. This is more commenly refered to as the speed of light, C. Therefore, f = V / l= C / l = 3x108 / 400x10-9 = 7.5x1014 Hz (Not in standard form that's: 750,000,000,000,000 Hz) (The '/' means divided by)

What is the Relation between angular velocity and frequency?

If there is a rotation, "angular velocity" and "angular frequency" is the same thing. However, "angular frequency" can also refer to situations where there is no rotation.


What does speed refer to?

Is the pitch high or low if the frequency is low?

Pitch and frequency are simply different terms for the same thing and are directly proportional. The difference is that pitch is the subjective human perception while frequency is an objectively measured quantity in units of Hz.


How does frequency relate to pitch of a sound wave?

Frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that occur in one second. In terms of sound waves, a higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. This means that the pitch of a sound is directly related to its frequency.

What is speed?

Speed is the distance traveled by a body in certain interval of time. It is measured in units of metres per second, ms-1. Speed can also refer to drugs of the amphetamine class.
