To find the frequency, divide the number of wave crests (10) by the total time (15 seconds):
Frequency = 10 wave crests / 15 seconds = 0.67 Hz or 2/3 Hz.
The frequency of a 10 wave crest in 15 seconds would be 0.67 Hz. This is calculated by dividing the number of wave crests (10) by the time taken (15 seconds).
Frequency = 1/(time period) so frequency = 1/5 =0.2 Hz
The frequency of the waves is 0.67 Hz. This is calculated by dividing the number of wave crests (10) by the time taken (15 seconds).
That's the 'wavelength'.

Wavelength, and it = velocity/frequency.
20 waves per minute. (or 1 every 3 seconds)
That's the 'wavelength'.
The frequency of the waves is 0.67 Hz. This is calculated by dividing the number of wave crests (10) by the time taken (15 seconds).
The distance from one wave crest to the next crest is called the wavelength of the wave.
The distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next is known as the wavelength. It represents the length of one complete cycle of the wave, typically measured in meters or another unit of distance. The wavelength determines characteristics of the wave, such as its frequency and energy.
The frequency of the waves passing you is 2 Hz (2 cycles in 1 second) since you counted 16 wave crests in 8 seconds.
Wave a has a greater frequency since it has a crest appearing every second, while wave b has a crest appearing every minute. Frequency is defined as the number of crests passing a fixed point in a given amount of time, so wave a has a higher frequency than wave b.
The term for the time it takes each wave crest to pass a certain point is called the "period" of the wave. It is typically measured in seconds and is the inverse of the frequency of the wave.
