Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter".

Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 50 cm and a frequency of 4 KHz?

The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).


A wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a wave speed of 18 ms. What is its wavelength?

Just divide the speed by the frequency. Since SI units are used, the wavelength will be in meters.


What is unit of electromagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic spectrum is typically measured in units of frequency (Hz) or wavelength (meters). The frequency ranges from radio waves with the lowest frequencies, to gamma rays with the highest frequencies.


How fast is a wave moving if its wavelength is 10meters and its frequency is 110Hz?

The speed of a wave is equal to its wavelength times its frequency. Since you are using SI units, the answer will be in meters/second.


What is the frequency of a wave whose wavelength is 5 cycle and whose frequency is 5Hz?

The answer is in the question! 5 Hz Also, a wavelength cannot be 5 cycles - wrong units.


What is the frequency of an EM wave that has a wavelength of 1 mm?

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 1 mm is 300 GHz. This is calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Substituting the values in gives us 300 GHz.


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of cm and a frequency of KHz?

The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).


What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a speed of 10 ms?

Convert the cm to meters, to have compatible units. Then use the fact that the frequency times the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave. In this case, you can divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency.


What is the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 760 Hz and wavelength of .45?

The answer depends on the units used for .45 and since these are not given, there cannot be a sensible answer.


What are the features of a wavelength?

A wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase. It is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave - the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength, and vice versa. Wavelength is usually measured in meters or other distance units.


What is the wavelength of a wave that has a velocity of 0.4 and a frequency of 0.2 Hz?

you need to specify the units for velocity. assuming that the velocity is in metres per second, the wavelength is 2 metres


Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?

No, frequency and wavelength are inversely related in a phenomenon called the wavelength-frequency relationship. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
