A wave has a low speed but a high frequency What can you infer about its wavelength?

That's short.
(Note that the question avoids any definition of 'low' or 'high',
so any answer should suffice.)

A wave has a low speed but a high frequencyWhat can be inferred about its wavelength?
Using the equation v=fλ, you can rearrange to get λ=v/f If the speed if low and the frequency is high, you will get a low value for the wavelength.
If the wave frequency is doubled what will happened to the speed?
Nothing, as the speed of sound doesn't change (about 340 metres per second in air). If the frequency (or pitch) were to be twice as high it would simply halve the wavelength.
What can you infer about why the probability of an earthquake is so high in the Parkfield area?
You can infer that it is on or near a fault line. You can also infer that a earthquake is very likely to occur there.
Can a wave with a wavelength of 21 meters ever be more than 3 meters high?
Of course. The wavelength and amplitude have no influence on each other.
Frequency between 300 and 3000 MHz?
It's called ultra high frequency, of UHF.
Light ray is straight line what is its frequency?
A light ray is a straight line with speed c=fw. The speed c is a constant and the product of the wavelength, w and the frequency f. The frequency is f=c/w, inverse to the wavelength. If the wavelength is long the frequency is low; if the wavelength is small the frequency is high.
What kind of wavelength does a wave have with a high frequency?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease, to keep the product constant.
The speed of what tells whether a sound will be a high or low pitch?
The speed of the vibration. High speed vibration = high frequency = short wavelength = high pitch. Low speed vibration = low frequency = long waves = low pitch.
A wave has a low speed but a high frequencyWhat can be inferred about its wavelength?
Using the equation v=fλ, you can rearrange to get λ=v/f If the speed if low and the frequency is high, you will get a low value for the wavelength.
Which of these waves would you expect to have the greatest wave speed?
a wave with long wavelength and high frequency.
Is it possible to draw a high frequency wave with long wavelength?
It depends on what you consider high frequency and long wavelength. However, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa. In fact, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
A sound wave produced by a lightning bolt has a frequency of 36 Hz and a wavelength of 12.0 m what is the speed of the sound wave?
Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (36) x (12) = 432 meters per second.Isn't this a pretty high speed for sound in air . . . ? ? ?
What is the frequency of oceon waves that have a speed of 18 miles per second and wavelength of 50m?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) =(18 miles per second) x (1,609.344 meters per mile) / (50 meters) = 579.4 Hz (rounded)This speed and frequency is awfully high for a water wave, but the math is the math.
What does it mean for something to have wavelike properties?
Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. The frequency is defined as the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass a given space. Since all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, short-wavelength radiation must have a high frequency and long-wavelength radiation must have a low frequency.
What is the wavelength of a microwave having a frequency of 7.74 MHz?
EM radiation with a wavelength of 15 cm has a frequency of 1.9987 GHz. (Giga Hertz) or close enough to 2GHz. Technically this is in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) section of the radio spectrum which is 300MHz to 3GHz.
High energey light has what wavelength?
High energy light has a small wavelength, and a high frequency.
What is the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 18 kHz near the high end of your hearing range?
Lambda( Wavelength) = velocity/frequency Frequency = 18 x 10^3 Hz Velocity = Speed of sound = 340m/s wavelength = 340/18x10^3 = 17/900 m
