The hertz measurement, abbreviated Hz, is the number of waves that pass by per second. For example, an “A” note on a violin string vibrates at about 440 Hz (440 vibrations per second).
Read moreHow do you find the frequency of a wave?
To calculate the frequency of a wave, divide the velocity of the wave by the wavelength . Write your answer in Hertz, or Hz, which is the unit for frequency. If you need to calculate the frequency from the time it takes to complete a wave cycle, or T, the frequency will be the inverse of the time, or 1 divided by T.
