What is the frequency of a wave measured by?

The frequency of a wave is measured by counting the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a given time period, usually measured in hertz (Hz). It represents how many times the wave repeats in one second.


What is frequency of wave measured in?

It is measured in Hertz (Hz).


How do you think a wave's speed is measured?

Amplitude of the wave.


What is amplitude measured from?

Amplitude is measured from the baseline or midpoint of a wave to the peak or trough of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position.


How is the period of a wave measured in seconds?

The period of a wave is measured in seconds by calculating the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to occur.


What is the distance of a wave measured by?

The distance of a wave is typically measured by its wavelength, which is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase with each other. This can be measured in units such as meters or nanometers, depending on the scale of the wave.


How can you measure amplitude in a transverse wave?

Amplitude in a transverse wave can be measured by the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position as the wave passes through it. This can be measured by looking at the height of the wave crest or the depth of the wave trough from the equilibrium position. Alternatively, it can be measured by the maximum value of the wave function that describes the wave's displacement from equilibrium.


What is the height of wave measured from center to peak?

The height of a wave is measured from the centerline, or still water level, to the wave's peak or crest. This measurement is known as the wave height.


Can the amplitude of a wave be measured from the medium to the crest?

No, the amplitude of a wave is measured from the equilibrium position to either the crest or trough of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its resting position.


What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?

The height of a wave is measured from the center of the wave (the equilibrium position) to the crest or trough of the wave. It is half the distance between the crest and trough of the wave.


The height of a wave is measured from the top of one crest to the top of another.?

No, the height of a wave is measured from the top of one crest to the bottom of the same crest.


What characteristic of wave is measured in hertz?

Frequency is the characteristic of a wave that is measured in hertz. Frequency describes the number of complete cycles of a wave that occur in a specific time period, usually measured in cycles per second (hertz).
