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.

How would you describe the wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency?

The wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency would be short.


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.


Which of these waves would you expect to have the greatest wave speed?

a wave with long wavelength and high frequency.


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.


Does a pitched baseball have a long wavelength or a short wavelength?

There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."


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 . . . ? ? ?


Is The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and speed together or its?

The pitch of a sound can be determined by its frequencyalone.


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.


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.


What equation can be used to show why a microwave has high energy?

Energy of microwaves is related to wavelength (lambda) and the speed of light (C). Energy equals Planck's Constant (6.6x10^34 Joules*second) multiplied by the speed of light (3.0X10^8 meters/second) divided by wavelength.


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.)


Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?

No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
