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.

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.


The number of waves passing a point in one second is?

The number of waves passing a point in one second is called the frequency. It is measured in Hertz (Hz) and is equal to the reciprocal of the wavelength.


A standing wave is formed in a stretched string what is 2.3 meters long. What is the wavelength of the first harmonic?

If the wire is stretched it must mean that both ends are attached to something and are not free to move. As such a condition on any possible oscillation is that the end points remain stationary. If it is also a standing wave the first harmonic is formed by the oscillation which has only two stationary points (the ends). Only half of one wavelength fits on the wire therefore the wavelength of the first harmonic is twice 2.3 meters equaling 4.6 meters.


When does maximum diffraction occur?

Maximum diffraction occurs when the size of the diffracting opening or obstacle is comparable in size to the wavelength of the wave passing through it. This condition allows for the most bending or spreading of the wave, resulting in a more pronounced diffraction pattern.


What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves?

The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is equal to the speed of the wave.


How is wavelength related to frequency for waves moving at a constant speed?

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional for waves moving at a constant speed. This means that as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. The product of wavelength and frequency is always equal to the speed of the wave.

Does 490 equal to 1 minute?

No,60 equals to 1 minute.


Wave speed is equal to multipied by frequency?

The speed of a wave is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength.


When working with waves frequency times what equal speed?

wavelength


How the wavelength traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?

The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of MM and a frequency of Hz?

The speed of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its frequency. (If you want to have the speed in meters/second, convert the wavelength to meters first.)
