What else can I help you with?
What happens when you increase the speed of a wave what happens to the wavelength?
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
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 wave speed remains constant what happens to the wavelength of the waves as the frequency?
they all have a direct relationship so one of the variables would have to change to effect the other
When a sound wave passes from air into water do you expect the frequency wavelength to change?
The speed of the wave increases, the frequency remains constant and the wavelength increases. The angle of the wave also changes.
If the wave length of a given wave decreases what will its frequency do?
the equation relating wavelength and frequency is : c=n*l ; where n=frequency; l=wavelength; c=velocity of light in vacuum. Now, we know that c is constant always. So, if any one between n and l changes, the other also has to change accordingly so that there product, 'c', remains same, i.e. 3 * 108. Thus, if wavelength of a given wave decreases then its frequency gets increased to bring the product of the new wavelength and new frequency again to 3*108.
If the speed of a wave doubles while the wavelength remains the same what happens to the wavelength?
You actually answered your own question. The wavelength remains the same since it is stated as part of the problem. However, the frequency, which I am betting you are more interested in will double. The frequency is releated to the wavelength and the speed of the wave by the following equation f = v/l where f is the frequency, v is the speed, and l is the wavelength. So if the velocity doubles and the wavelength is constant, then the frequency will double.
What happens when you increase the speed of a wave what happens to the wavelength?
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
What happens to the wavelength the if we increase the frequency of vibration?
Provided the speed of the wave remains constant, as we increase the frequency of wave then wavelength decreases. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
If wavelength increases what happens to frequency and wave energy?
If wavelength increases, frequency decreases inversely. Wave energy remains the same since it is determined by amplitude and not by wavelength or frequency.
What happens to frequency when you double wavelength?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number. (It happens to be the speed of the wave.) So if one of them doubles, the other one gets decreased by half.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
If the frequency of a wave is doubled while the wave speed remains constant, the wavelength of the wave will be halved. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave, so when one doubles, the other is halved to keep the wave speed constant.
If the speed of a wave while the wavelength remains the same what happens to the frequency?
If the speed of a wave remains the same while the wavelength stays constant, the frequency also remains unchanged. This is because the relationship between the speed, wavelength, and frequency of a wave is given by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. So, if two of these values are constant, the third one will be constant as well.
When frequency increases what happens to wavelength?
The wavelength gets shorter. If the propagation speed remains the same, the wavelength (L) decreases by the inverse of the frequency f. For electromagnetic waves c = fL is a constant.
If frequency is tripled what happens to wavelength?
If frequency is tripled, the wavelength will be one-third of its original value. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, so as frequency increases, wavelength decreases to maintain a constant speed.
What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency decreases and the waveleNgth increases?
If the frequency decreases and the wavelength increases, the speed of the wave remains constant. This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium it's traveling through, not by its frequency or wavelength.
What happens to a wavelength when the amplitude and frequency are both increased?
When the amplitude and frequency of a wave are both increased, the wavelength remains constant. Amplitude affects the intensity or loudness of the wave, while frequency determines the pitch. Therefore, changing the amplitude and frequency does not alter the wavelength of the wave.
What happens to wavelengths when frequency decreses?
When frequency decreases, the wavelength increases. This is because the speed of a wave remains constant in a given medium (like air or water), so as frequency decreases, the wavelength has to increase in order to maintain that constant speed.
