∙ 14y agothe frequency that the tops of waves pass a single point in a certain amount of time (i think per second, but it may be per minute) used for radio waves and those sort of waves, not for like ocean waves... ;)

∙ 12y agoThe number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second. Frequency is expressed in Hertz.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoFrequency is measured in Hertz (Hz) and is defined as amount of waves per second.
If a sound is measured to 91 Hz, it means the sound frequency is 91 times per second.

What is meant by the frequency of a wave what is the unit?
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete waves that pass a fixed point in one second. The unit is "Hertz" or "Cycles". The dimension is "per second". (Reciprocal time.)
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?
speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength
How does frequency of a wave compare with the frequency of the source?
The frequency of a radio wave compares to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it because the frequency of a radio wave is proportional to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it.
The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?
This is known as the frequency of the wave.
How is water length and frequency of a wave related?
I don't know what's "water length" but I do know that the deeper the water are, the faster the wave goes. If you meant wave length and not water length, then the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency of the wave.

What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?
velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.
What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?
speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength

The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?
This is known as the frequency of the wave.
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
Formula for frequency of a wave?
frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength) frequency = 1/(period)
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
How does the the frequency of a reflected wave compared to the frequency of a incoming wave?
It is double of the incoming wave.
What is meant by intensity of sound how it is different from loudness?
loudness is the magnitude of wave of sound(the highest point reached by the wave). intensity is frequency of sound (that's how much a wave vibrates in 1 second)
