depends on what type of vibration the vibrations that are counted in atomic closcks are multiple billions of times a second and the vibration of the earth or RESONATION is 6hertz im pretty shure and the vibration of the movement of the earth is one pulse every year a rediculusly long wavelength be more spesific

∙ 14y agoThe length of one complete wave or cycle of oscillation is a wavelength.
Wiki User
∙ 17y agoThere are two factors that determine the "period" of a wave: frequency and the rate at which the wave propigates through the medium.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThat is the definition of the frequency which is measured in Hertz
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThat is called the period. Some time unit would be used, for example seconds.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe time is called a the period and it is P= wave-length/speed.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThat's the "frequency" of the oscillation.

A water wave rises and falls twice every four seconds What is the period of the wave What is its frequency?
Period = (4 seconds) / (2 waves) = 2 seconds per wave Frequency = (2 waves) / (4 seconds) = 0.5 Hz.
What is the speed of the waves if the wave period is 4 seconds?
you have to know the wave length.
A wave with period of 0.0008 second has frequency of?
125 cycles per second or 125 Hz. A wave that has a period of 0.008 seconds has a period of 0.008 seconds per cycle. If you have 0.008 seconds per cycle, you have one cycle per 0.008 seconds. And one cycle per 8/1000 seconds is 1 x 1000 / 8 cycles per second, which is 125 cycles per second. As regards waves, frequency and period are reciprocals. By definition, 1/frequency equals period, and 1/period equals frequency.
If a radio wave has a period of 1 us what is the waves period in seconds?
If a radio wave has a period of one then the period wave or two would be 2. This is math.
How do you calculate the frequency of a wave when given the period?
Frequency speaks to the rate at which cycles of a wave occur. It is measured in cycles per unit of time for a wave function or event. Wavelength is the length of one cycle of the wave as it passes through the medium it is traveling in. It's measured in meters, inches, or whatever you like. The periodof the wave is the length of time it takes for one cycle of the wave to occur. Seconds is a good way to measure that. You are now an expert in the basic physics of harmonic motion, or waves. If you have the length of the wave as it is passing through a medium, you have its wavelength. If you have the time it takes for one cycle of that wave, you have the period. Period of a wave is the amount of time it takes for one cycle. Recall that frequency was the number of cycles per unit of time. They are opposites. Period is the inverse of frequency, and vice versa. Frequency is 1/period, and period is 1/frequency. If you have the period, that is the seconds per cycle, invert that and then reduce it to get one unit of time and you'll have frequency. Would an example help? Let's do one. If you have a length of a wave so you know you have one complete cycle, you have a cycle. If you know how long it took for that one complete wave to happen, you have the period of the wave. If we have a wave that makes a complete cycle in a ten thousandth of a second, that is one cycle in 1/10,000th of a second, if we invert that, we will have the frequency. 1/10,000 seconds per 1 cycle inverted = 1 cycle per 1/10,000th of a second We have 1 over 1/10,000th cycles per second. Let's do just the simple math: 1 divided by 1/10,000th = 10,000 We have 10,000 cycles per second, or 10 kilocycles per second or 10 kHz (where Hz = Hertz = cycles per second).
A water wave rises and falls twice every four seconds What is the period of the wave What is its frequency?
Period = (4 seconds) / (2 waves) = 2 seconds per wave Frequency = (2 waves) / (4 seconds) = 0.5 Hz.

T, seconds
How t find a waves frequency?
1/T, where T=period in seconds.

How do you calculate frequencies?
Frequency (in physics and engineering) is the measure number of complete cycles of some event per unit time. The event could be a revolution of a wheel, or oscillation of a tuning fork, reed, string, beam, etc. Or it could be movement of pressure waves like in air, or maybe the oscillation of water waves. It could also be electrical wave (like voltage at an outlet) or electromagnetic (like radio waves or light waves).You need to have some way of determining the start and finish of a complete cycle (usually measured from a 'peak' [maximum] to another 'peak'). Then just measure the elapsed time for one complete cycle.The frequency = 1 / (time period). Where time period is the time for one complete cycle.
If a radio wave has a period of 1 us what is the waves period in seconds?
If a radio wave has a period of one then the period wave or two would be 2. This is math.
What is the frequency of the waves if the waves along the shore are 10 seconds apart?
Frequency = 1/period = 1/10 sec = 0.1 Hz.

A person waves goodbye to her friend each wave requires 2 seconds for each wave cycle what is the frequency of the wave?
0.5 hertz
Which are the four properties that all waves have?
The main properties of waves are defined below. * Amplitude: the height of the wave, measured in meters. * Wavelength: the distance between adjacent crests, measured in meters. * Period: the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds. * Frequency: the number of complete waves that pass a point in one second, measured in inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz). * Speed: the horizontal speed of a point on a wave as it propagates, measured in meters / second.
A marine weather station reports waves along the shore that are 8 seconds apart The frequency of the waves is therefore?
Frequency = 1/period. So the amount of time for one period is eight second, thus it is 1/8 or 0.125 hertz.
