A certain signal produces 2.56x10^9 waves per hour (2560000000 waves/h). What is the frequency of this signal in Hertz?

711111.11Hz

Explanation:

Recall that the frequency of a wave is the number of cycles the wave complete in one second. Hence,

frequency = Number of wave cycles/time

Now, given that:

Number of waves cycles = 2.56x10^9 waves

Time taken = 1 hour

convert hours to seconds

(if 1 hour = 60minites,& 1 minute = 60sec)

Then, 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds

Frequency of this signal = ?

Frequency = (2.56x10^9/ 3600seconds)

= 711111.11Hz

Thus, the frequency of the signal is 711111.11Hz

The lithosphere, which is the outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle area), is broken into about 8 tectonic plates. technically the upper most part of the mantle and all of the crust is broken into tectonic plates, but for this I would say crust.Pacific; the pacific plate is the largest tectonic plate of the major six and lies underneath the Pacific ocean.The Himalayian Mountains can be found on the Eurasian plate.
