What happens to the speed of the waves if the frequency of the wave source is halved?
The wavelength of a wave would double if the frequency was cut in half. Wavelength=c/frequency where c equals the speed of light.
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.
How are the energy and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave related?
For any point on the electromagnetic spectrum, the product of(wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) is 299,792,458 meters per second.That's the speed of the wave.
Electromagnetic waves vary in?
Electromagnetic waves vary in wavelength, Energy and frequency E = hf = hc/w.
How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?
Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.
What decreases in a wave when its frequency increases?
The wavelength. For all waves, speed = frequency x wavelength.
What do tsunami waves carry which is common to all waves?
Wavelength, Amplitude, and Frequency.
What is the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of each electromagnetic wave?
frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave. This applies to all waves, not just to electromagnetic waves.
What are the characteristics of all waves?
Speed, amplitude, and wavelength/frequency.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
Electromagnetic waves differ only in their what their energy and their frequency?
wavelength,frequency, and speed
If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?
The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
How would the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
How wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the Waves increases?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
