1) A person standing in the park notices that after a wave crest passed by ten more crests pass in a time of 120 sec. What is the frequency of the wave?

2) A light waves travel through air at a speed of 3 x 10(to the 3rd power) m/s. Red light has a wavelength of about 6.6 x 10(to the negative seventh power) meter. What is the frequency of the red light?

1) 10 full wave-length passed by 120 sec so the wave period is 12 sec. f=1/T so f=0.083333 Hz
2) First of all, light speed=3 x 10^8 m/s.
Secondly, f=v/lambda
(where v=light speed and lambda=wave-length)
so f=3X10^8 / 6.6 x10^(-7)=4.5454 x 10^14 Hz (approx. 4500 GHz = Giga Hertz)

1) frequency = number of waves passed throug a point in one second.
Here you got 10 waves passed in 120sec
=> 10 / 120 waves passed in a second
=> frequency = 1/12 hz (or) cycles per second.


2) speed of light = frequency * wave length
here 3 * 10^3 = f * 6.6 * 10^(-7)
=> frequency of red light = 1/2.2 * 10^10 hz.

i'll answer the second one... i hope its right
speed = wavelength * frequency
( i think this is the formula)
so frequency = speed/ wavelength = .45 * 10 ^10 = 4.5 * 10 ^ 9 m

btw, doesn't light travel at the speed of 3 * 10 ^8 m/s

Racism IS an ethical problem. Galatians 3:26 So in Christ Jesus you're all little ones of God by faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 there is NEITHER JEW NOR GENTILE, NEITHER SLAVE NOR loose, NEITHER MALE NOR woman, FOR you're ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. 29 in case you belong to Christ, then you actually are Abraham’s seed, and heirs in accordance to the promise.
