Question

another property of transverse waves is frequency. frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a certain amount of time. frequency is usually measured in hertz (hz), with 1 hertz being equivalent to 1 wave cycle per second.

for example, if maya moves her arm so that 3 wave crests pass a point every second, the frequency is 3 hertz.
if maya creates a wave such that 4 wave crests pass a point every 2 seconds, what is the frequency of the wave?
□ hz

Explanation:

Step1: Define frequency formula

Frequency $f = \frac{\text{Number of cycles}}{\text{Time}}$

Step2: Substitute given values

$f = \frac{4}{2}$

Step3: Calculate the result

$f = 2$

Answer:

2 Hz
