"1 Hz" means that 1 complete wave passes the place where you're sitting

each second.

So regardless of what kind of wave it is or what its speed may be, if its

frequency is 1 Hz, then it takes 1 second to travel 1 wavelength.

During a single period the distance traveled by a wave is?

During a single period a wave travels just one wavelength.


If a wave vibrates up and down twice each second and travels a distance of M each second what is its Wave speed?

The wave speed is equal to the frequency multiplied by the wavelength. In this case, since the wave vibrates up and down twice per second (frequency = 2 Hz) and travels a distance of M each second, its wave speed would be 2M/s.


What does wave speed mean?

Wave speed refers to the speed at which a wave travels through a medium. It is determined by the frequency and wavelength of the wave, and is commonly expressed as distance traveled per unit of time (e.g. meters per second).


What is a measure of the distance a wave travels an amount of time?

The speed of the wave is a measure of the distance it travels in a specific amount of time. It can be calculated as the distance traveled by the wave divided by the time taken.

How do you calculate the distance in sound waves?

The distance in sound waves can be calculated using the formula: distance = speed of sound x time. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second. By knowing the time it takes for the sound wave to travel from the source to the receiver, you can calculate the distance the sound wave has traveled.


How do you prove that speed equals wavelength times frequency?

Frequency is the number of waves per second, i.e. 20Hz is 20 waves per second. Wavelength is obviously the length of each wave i.e 20m So if there are 20 waves per second, the distance it travels is the length of the wave multiplied by the number of waves in one second. The distance travelled in one second by the wave above is therefore 20 * 20m wich is 400m. The distance travelled in 1 second is 400m. Therefore every second, the wave travels 400m and thus the speed is 400meters per second (400m/s).

How do you find wavelength of transverse wave?

The wavelength of a transverse wave can be found by measuring the distance between two consecutive points of similar displacement or phase along the wave. This distance represents the distance traveled by the wave during one complete cycle of oscillation. Mathematically, the wavelength can be determined by dividing the wave speed by its frequency.


Is The wavelength of a wave measures the height of each crest?

No. The wavelength is the distance, or separation, between each crest.


What unit is a wave's velocity measured in?

Meters per second


What is the distance between a point on one wave and a similar point on the next wave?

The distance between two corresponding points on adjacent waves is called the wavelength. It represents the distance traveled by a wave in one complete cycle of its oscillation. The wavelength can be measured from peak to peak, trough to trough, or any corresponding points on the wave.
