The Period

∙ 8y agoThis is known as the period. It is the time taken for one complete cycle of the wave. As such it is the reciprocal of the frequency (1 / frequency) of the wave.

∙ 9y agoA period is the time it takes for one full wavelength to pass a certain point.

∙ 13y agoThat's the wave's "period".
It's the same number as [ (1) divided by (the wave's frequency) ].

What is the length of one cycle of oscillation?
In physics the distance is called wavelength. Period is the time it takes for one wavelength of wave to pass through a given point.
The number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second is?
No that is frequency. Wavelength is how long it takes one wave to pass a certain point fully once
When the frequency and wavelength are known answerer?
Frequency refers to how many waves pass a fixed point in a unit of time. Frequency is measured in Hertz, or Hz, and one Hertz means a single wave passes a given fixed point in one second. Wavelength refers to the length of an entire wave, so either from crest to crest or trough to trough. If you know how many waves pass a given point in a unit of time, which is frequency, and how long the waves are, which is wavelength, you can find the wave's speed. For example, if a wave has a frequency of 10 Hz, so ten waves pass a given point in a second, and it has a wavelength of four meters, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength to find that the waves are traveling at 40 meters per second.
What is describe by the frequency of a wave?
The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second
Is the time it takes one wavelength to pass a fixed position?

The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a .?
A wave length.
What is the time required for one full wavelength to pass a certain point.?

How long does it take at total charge of 10.0 C to pass through a cross-sectional area of a copper wire that carries a current of 3.1 A?
Here we are given 3.1 amperes of current and are asked to find the time it takes 10 coulombs of charge to pass a given point. First ask yourself how many coulombs are passing a given point in one second. If we have 3.1 amperes of current, we have 3.1 coulombs of charge passing any given point in one second. If it takes 1 second for 3.1 coulombs of charge to pass, how long will it take for 10C of charge to pass?
What is a rate at which charges pass a given point?
Current
What is the number of electrons that pass a given point at a given time?
Wave speed
What what is wavelength?
There are different types of waves. They can belong to light, sound, or color. A wavelength is how far apart a crest or trough is from another crest or trough. In a wave, there are many different characteristics, which include its amplitude and frequency. the amplitude is the distance between a wave's mid-point and it's crest or trough. The frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a given time. so, this tells that a wave has more properties or characteristics than a wavelength.
What is the number of waves that pass a given point in second?
