As per the question the time period of the wave is 0.008 s.

we have to calculate the frequency of the wave.

Before going to calculate the frequency of the wave first we have to understand the frequency.

Frequency of a wave is defined as the number of waves passing through a point in unit time.

Time period of a wave means time taken by a wave for one complete vibration or oscillation.

The relation between frequency and wave is given as frequency is the reciprocal of time period.

Mathematically we can say $frequency[ f]=\frac{1}{T}$

$= \frac{1}{0.008s}$

=125 Hz [ans]

The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds.
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

Robert Hook discovered cells when viewing a _____ under a microscope.

sp2606 [1]

<span>What you need to do while answering this questions, is ask yourself what has cells - only if a thing has cells can you see those cells under a microscope. Objects of animal and plant origin have cells, so blood, plant and cork (made of tree bark) can have cells, and a box too, if it's made of wood. So we can''t exclude any answers based on this. We must then know the story of Robert Hook - and it was in fact a cork. He did this discovery around 1655. At the time his main interest was the microscope rather than the cork, and he used to cork to demonstrate the function of the microscope. The correct answer is CORK.</span>

Which of the following would effect the speed of a wave ? A) the matter it travels through

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Option D

The frequency

Explanation:

The speed of wave is depedant only on the wavelength and frequency of waves since it is given by s=fw where s is the speed, f is frequency and w is the wavelength. Since the options given has only one factor, that is frequency, hence option D is correct. In case we had wavelength could be among the options, both would be correct.

A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial speed of 15m/s. What maximum height will the stone reach before falling bac

Vitek1552 [10]

$height=\frac{velocity^2}{2gravity}\\\\
velocity=15\frac{m}{s}\\\\
g=9,8\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\height=\frac{15^2}{2*9,8}=\frac{225}{19,6}\\\\
\boxed{height=11,48\ meters}$
