What is frequency when referring to waves?
What is frequency when referring to waves?
- The distance between two crests of a wave
- The height of a wave from the midpoint to the crest
- The rate at which wavelengths occur per second (correct)
- The speed of a wave in a given medium
How is frequency measured?
How is frequency measured?
- In cycles per second or hertz (correct)
- In meters per second
- In newtons
- In joules
What does one hertz represent?
What does one hertz represent?
- One wave per second
- One meter per second
- One cycle per second (correct)
- One wavelength
If a wave has a frequency of 2 hertz, how many cycles occur every second?
