What else can I help you with?
What is the number of wave peaks that pass each second?
The number of wave peaks that pass a point in one second is called the frequency of the wave. It is measured in hertz (Hz).
What gives the frequency of the wave in terms of its peaks?
Use the formula v=fλv=Speed of the wave (Light travels about 3x10^8 m/s)λ=wave length (distance from one peak to the next)so by rearranging the formula to v/λ =frequency, you can work out the frequency of the wave by using the distance between peaks (as the wavelength) divided by the speed of the wave.Hope this helps
Does lower frequency mean more energy for amplitude?
No, lower frequency does not necessarily mean more energy for amplitude. The energy of a wave is determined by its amplitude, not its frequency. The amplitude of a wave is the height of its peaks and determines the intensity or energy of the wave.
If a wave has a frequency of 5.0 waves per second and the distance between the peaks of the wave is 20 cm. What is the speed of the wave?
wave velocity = frequency in Hz x wavelength in meterSo frequency = 5 Hz and wavelength = distance between successive peaks = 20 cm = 20/100 mHence wave velocity = 5 * 20/100 = 1 m/s
What change takes place in a wave when the frequency of the wave increases?
When the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This means that the distance between two consecutive wave peaks or troughs becomes shorter. Additionally, the energy of the wave is directly proportional to its frequency, so higher frequency waves carry more energy.

What are wavelenghts?
wavelenght is the distance between the 2 peaks in sound waves and can be calculated by Wavelenght is = wave speed/ frequency or wave speed __________ frequency

What is the wave length of a hertz?
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.
Is wavelength the number of wave cycles in a given unit of time?
No, wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of a wave. The number of wave cycles in a given unit of time is referred to as frequency.
How is the frequency of a wave label?
The frequency of a wave is labeled in hertz (Hz), which represents the number of cycles or oscillations that occur in one second. It is a measurement of how many wave peaks pass a certain point in a given amount of time.
What does the wavelength of the wave measure?
The wavelength of a wave measures the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase, such as two peaks or two troughs. It is usually denoted by the symbol λ and is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave.
In a tank of water if the waves frequency is increased what will happen?
The length between wave peaks and troughs will get shorter
Does an electromagnetic wave have amplitude wavelength and frequency?
Yes, an electromagnetic wave has an amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. The amplitude represents the wave's maximum displacement from its midpoint, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of the wave, and the frequency is the number of complete wave cycles that pass a certain point in one second.
