What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
How is a wave measured?
by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)
What is the angle that light strikes a surface?
That is known as the angle of incidence. It is measured from the normal, which is a imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light wave contacts the surface.
What is the distance of a wave measured by?
The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.
Wave lenght is measured from the crest to the trough?
No. The wavelength is measured from crest to crest.
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
How are waves measured?
It depends, if you mean light or sound waves, for example, there are a variety of factors to be measured: The length of a wave from peak to peak is represented with lambda. You can also measure velocity of a wave (how fast and in what direction it is moving). Frequency of light effects the color of the light, and frequency of sound effects its pitch.
How is a wave measured?
by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)
What is visible light measured in?
Just like any other wave phenomenon, its frequency is measured in large multiples of Hertz (Hz), its wavelength is measured in small fractions of a meter (m), and its speed is measured in meters/second .
What is frequency of wave measured in?
It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
How do you think a wave's speed is measured?
Amplitude of the wave.
What is the angle that light strikes a surface?
That is known as the angle of incidence. It is measured from the normal, which is a imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point where the light wave contacts the surface.
If light obeys the Doppler effect and travels slower in different mediums like waves then why is it not thought as a wave?
It is thought of as both a particle (Photon) and a wave. It depends primarily on where and how the effects are to be measured.
How can a sound wave be measured?
By hertz.
What is the distance of a wave measured by?
The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.
What type of wave does light travel as?
A sonic wave.
Is wave length is measured from crest to the trough?
False, it is measured from crest to crest.
