How is wavelength related to frequency for waves moving at a constant speed?

The wavelength is the equal to the speed divided by the frequency. Hence: λ = v/f


How is wave length related to frequency fro waves moving at a constant speed?

Wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave.


If a wave is moving at a constant speed and the wavelength is doubled what will happen to the frequency?

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).


How are wavelength and frequency related for a wave moving at a constant speed?

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.


In the Doppler effect for sound if the source and receiver are at rest but the air is moving will there be any change in frequency or wavelength?

No change in frequency or wavelength.


Examples of the equation velocity equals frequency wavelength?

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.


What is the frequency of a wave moving at 24 ms with a wavelength of 3 m?

8Hz


How fast is a wave moving if its wavelength is 10meters and its frequency is 110Hz?

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.


What is the frequency of the wave moving at the rate of 40 cms. Its wavelength is 8 cm.?

Divide the speed by the wavelength.


What is the frequency of a wave moving at 24 m s with a wavelength of 3 m?

frequency [Hz] = velocity[m/s] / wavelength [m] frequency [Hz] = 24 [m/s] / 3 [m] frequency = 8 [Hz]


How can the Doppler effect determine if things are moving towards a distant galaxy or away from one?

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).


Does 220-Hertz or 440-Hertz move faster?

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.
