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.
If the speed of a wave increases and its frequency does not change then what will happen to its wavelength?
This generally happens when a wave moves from one medium into another.Now, the velocity (v) of a wave (mechanical and electromagnetic) is equal to the product of its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ).So, v = f x λThat means if frequency is constant, the wavelength is directly proportional to the velocity.So, if the speed of the wave increases (while frequency remains the same), the wavelength will also increase.
If a wave is travelling at a certain speed and its frequency is cut in half what would happen to the wavelength of the wave?
it would become longer
If the speed of a wave doubles while the wavelength stays the same what happens to the frequency?
It will simply double.Wavelength = Velocity / Frequencyor in your caseVelocity = Frequency x wavelength+++Except that would demand unusual conditions.'Doubling of speed can only happen if the wave passes from its first medium to another of very different properties. Any given wave motion has a speed constant for any medium itself that is able to transmit it.'For sound, the speed is approximately 340m/s in air, 1500m/s in water (varying very slightly with the density of the air or water). This is irrespective of frequency hence irrespective of wavelength.'So for a single medium, as the speed cannot change (ignoring small changes due to density changes) the wavelength is always inversely proportional to frequency only.
What would happen to the area of a triangle when both dimensions are doubled?
If both dimensions are doubled then the area is quadrupled. This is true of any geometric shape.
If the frequency of a wave traveling in a rope is doubled what will happen to the speed of the wave?
Assuming that the wavelength remains constant, the velocity of the rope will also double if the frequency is doubled. This can be seen in the word equation below: speed = frequency x wavelength If we assume that wavelength is a constant...let wavelength = 1 speed = frequency therefore... 2 x frequency = 2 x speed
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 will happen to the waves frequency if its wavelength is made twice as long?
If the wavelength is doubled, the frequency of the wave will be halved. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, so as the wavelength increases, the number of wavelengths passing a point in a given time decreases, resulting in a lower frequency.
What will happen as frequency of a wave increases and the speed remains constant?
As the frequency of a wave increases while the speed remains constant, the wavelength of the wave will decrease. This is because the speed of a wave is the product of its frequency and wavelength, according to the wave equation v = f * λ. So if the speed is constant and frequency increases, wavelength must decrease to maintain this relationship.
What will happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is left unchanged?
If the frequency of a wave is left unchanged, the wavelength will also remain constant. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, so they always adjust together to maintain the speed of the wave.
What would happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is halved?
If the frequency of a wave is halved, the wavelength would double. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, so by halving the frequency (which is the number of wave cycles per unit time), each wave cycle now covers a longer distance, resulting in a longer wavelength.
If the speed of a wave increases and its frequency does not change then what will happen to its wavelength?
This generally happens when a wave moves from one medium into another.Now, the velocity (v) of a wave (mechanical and electromagnetic) is equal to the product of its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ).So, v = f x λThat means if frequency is constant, the wavelength is directly proportional to the velocity.So, if the speed of the wave increases (while frequency remains the same), the wavelength will also increase.
What happen to the speed when frequency and wavelength change?
It would change, depending on how much the frequency and the wavelength changes. It varies based on v = fλ.
What will happen to the wavelength if the frequency is decreased?
If the frequency is decreased, the wavelength will increase. This is because the wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely proportional to each other according to the wave equation λ = c/f, where λ is the wavelength, c is the speed of light, and f is the frequency.
How does the frequency of a gamma wave change as the wavelength decreases?
For any electromagnetic wave, from the highest gamma wave to the lowest radiowave, the product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the 'speed of light'in whatever substance the waves happen to be waving along at the moment.So if the wavelength of any of them should decrease, for whatever reason, itsfrequency would have to increase, in order to keep the product constant.
What would happen to the wave length if you could increase the frequency of a periodic wave?
If you increase the frequency of a periodic wave, the wavelength would decrease. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave: as frequency goes up, wavelength goes down.
If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?
Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.
