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.

What is the relation between speed frequency and wave length?
wave length and frequency are the product of the wave speed, so the wave speed is a constant variable and the other two are inversely proportional the wave length increases, as the frequency decreases
What is the product of the frequency and the wave length of a wave?
Frequency (1/seconds) x Wave Length (meters) = Speed (meters/sec. or m/s)
What happens to the wave length when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
The wave length would necessarily be one half. The speed would remain the same independent of the frequency.
How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
What happens to frequency of a wave if speed is doubled?
The frequency also doubles of the wave length stays the same. Remember that Velocity = (the wavelength) x (the frequency)
What is the relationship between length and wave frequency?
Frequency is inversely proportional to the wave length, thus saying the shorter the wave length the higher the frequency and vice versa.The frequency is the number of waves within a time period. As the frequency within that time period increases, the number of waves increases, therefore the width of each wave (wavelength) within that time period has to decrease. Therefore:As the wave length increases, the frequency decreasesAs the wave length decreases, the frequency increases
What happens As the length and speed of a wave decreases the wave?
As the length and speed of a wave decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. This relationship is governed by the formula: frequency = speed / wavelength. So, as one parameter decreases, the other two parameters adjust to maintain a constant value (frequency).
What is the relation between speed frequency and wave length?
wave length and frequency are the product of the wave speed, so the wave speed is a constant variable and the other two are inversely proportional the wave length increases, as the frequency decreases
As the speed and length of a wave decrease what happens to the wave?
As the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency remains the same while the wavelength decreases. This means that the wave's energy decreases as well.
How is a waves frequency related to a waves length?
Frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely related: as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the wave equation: speed = frequency x wavelength. In other words, for a given wave speed, if frequency increases, wavelength must decrease to maintain the same speed.
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
If the frequency of a wave increases what does that do to waves wavelenght?
If the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because there is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength in a wave - as one goes up, the other goes down.
How does the frequency of a water wave change as its wavelength changes?
With a water wave, an increase in the length of the wavelength will result in a decrease in the frequency of the wave. We could say that there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and the wavelength. As one increases, the other decreases, and as one decreases, the other increases.
What is the correlation between the length of a light wave and it's frequency?
The correlation between the length of a light wave and its frequency is inverse: as the length of the light wave increases, its frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the formula: speed of light = wavelength x frequency.
What increases when a wave period decreases.?
When a wave period decreases, speed increases.
If the period of wave decreases its frequency must?
increase. The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its period, meaning that as the period decreases, the frequency increases. The relationship between frequency and period is given by the formula: frequency = 1 / period.
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.
