What affect if any does increasing the speed of the plunger have on the frequency of the waves?
Increasing the speed of the plunger will increase the frequency of the waves.
How does a waves speed relate to its wavelength and frequency?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is the speed.
How does speed affect the frequency of reflected waves?
The Doppler Effect describes a frequency shift in reflected waves in proportion to the relative speed between the receiver and the reflected object. For instance, in a radar speed trap, the frequency shift in reflected radio waves allows the unit to calculate the speed toward (higher frequency) or away from (lower frequency) the transmitter/receiver unit. When you drive past a steady noise source, such a bell or a horn, the sound has a higher frequency as you approach and a lower frequency as you depart.
How is the wavelength related to frequency for waves moving at a constant speed?
Whatever the wavelength and frequency happen to be, their product is always equal to the speed.
What is the speed of waves in water that are 2.5 meters apart and have a frequency of 4?
speed of a wave = wavelength x frequency = 2.5m x 4Hz = 10m/s
When working with waves frequency times what equal speed?
wavelength
Do waves with the shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies?
That depends on the speed of the waves. If you are considering waves at the same speed, then yes, shorter wavelength equals higher frequency. The formula is: frequency = speed / wavelength or wavelength = speed / frequency From this you can clearly see, that if speed remains constant, then when wavelength decreases the frequency will increase and vice versa.
What is the speed of light a product of?
The speed of light equals the wavelength (metres) times the frequency (cycles per second). For other waves such as sound waves the wave speed varies but for light the wavelength times the frequency always equals 300 000 km/s, as long as it's traveling through vacuum.
What affect if any does increasing the speed of the plunger have on the frequency of the waves?
Increasing the speed of the plunger will increase the frequency of the waves.
How does frequency apply to periodic waves?
Periodic waves are characterized by a frequency, a wavelength, and by their speed.
How does a waves speed relate to its wavelength and frequency?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is the speed.
What is the formila for frequency in waves?
Frequency = Speed/Wave length.
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 the wavelengths 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.
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.
