Whatever the wavelength and frequency happen to be,
their product is always equal to the speed.
IF a wave moving at a constant speed were to have it's wavelength doubled (Wavelength x 2), then the frequency of the wave would be half of what it originally was (Frequency / 2).
Any wave. Of you have a wave (light, water etc.), it will have a frequency and a wavelength. Multiply these and you get the speed at which the wave is moving.
The speed of a wave is equal to its wavelength times its frequency. Since you are using SI units, the answer will be in meters/second.
frequency [Hz] = velocity[m/s] / wavelength [m] frequency [Hz] = 24 [m/s] / 3 [m] frequency = 8 [Hz]
Frequency = 24 ms-1/3 m = 8 s-1 or 8 Hertz.
The wavelength is the equal to the speed divided by the frequency. Hence: λ = v/f
Wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave.
IF a wave moving at a constant speed were to have it's wavelength doubled (Wavelength x 2), then the frequency of the wave would be half of what it originally was (Frequency / 2).
They are related by s=wf, wavelength w and frequency f. The product of the wavelenth andf frquency are a constant. This is an hyperbolic relationship between w and f, when w increases f decrease and vice versa.
No change in frequency or wavelength.

The speed of a wave is equal to its wavelength times its frequency. Since you are using SI units, the answer will be in meters/second.
Divide the speed by the wavelength.
frequency [Hz] = velocity[m/s] / wavelength [m] frequency [Hz] = 24 [m/s] / 3 [m] frequency = 8 [Hz]
Light had properties of frequency that related to colour. It is apparently contract in the direction moving toward the observer (higher frequency-short wavelength) and apparently elongated in the direction moving away from observer (lower frequency-high wavelength). What moving toward us is tend to be look more blue than usual (blue shift) and what away from us is redder than usual (red shift).
220 hertz is faster, because the higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength. The wavelength directly correlates to the speed so therefore the object moving at 220 hertz is significantly faster. Not quite. The question is not about moving objects but wave speeds. The formula is velocity = frequency x wavelength, but for any given wave motion through a given medium, its velocity stays constant. Therefore the wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency alone. So a 220Hz signal travels at the same speed as the 440Hz signal, in the same medium.
