-- If the ocean waves lap the shore every 15 seconds then their frequency is 1/15 Hz.

-- If the waves come every 30 seconds then the frequency is 1/30 Hz.

-- If the waves come every minute (60 seconds) then their frequency is 1/60 Hz.

What is a frequency of one wave per second?

A wave with a frequency of one wave per second is referred to as 1 hertz (Hz). This means that the wave completes one full cycle in one second. Examples include 1 Hz sound wave or a light wave with a frequency of 1 Hz.


What is the frequency of ripple components in the output of capacitor filter?

It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.


How many Hz does a p wave have?

A P wave has a frequency range of 0.5 to 20 Hz, with typical frequencies falling between 2 to 8 Hz.


What is the period of a 4 Hz wave?

The period of a 4 Hz wave is 0.25 seconds. Period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of a wave to occur. In this case, for a 4 Hz wave, the wave completes one full cycle every 0.25 seconds.


What is the period of a 8000 Hz sine wave?

The period of an 8000 Hz sine wave is 0.125 milliseconds. (1/8000)


What is the energy of a wave that has a frequency of 2400 Hz?

The energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency. The energy of a wave with a frequency of 2400 Hz depends on factors such as the amplitude, medium through which the wave is traveling, and wave equation.


Which travels faster a sound wave of 150 Hz or a sound wave of 700 Hz?

The speed is almost the same, for different frequencies.


The number of ocean waves that pass a buoy in one second is?

The number of ocean waves that pass a buoy in one second is referred to as the wave frequency or wave period, which is typically measured in hertz (Hz) or seconds. The specific value will depend on the wave conditions at that particular location and time.


If a wave has frequency of 20 Hz what is the period of the wave?

.05 seconds
