it doubles
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
The speed changes.
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength)
If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.
A wave traveling at a constant speed will have its frequency remain the same regardless of the change in wavelength. The wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely proportional, meaning if the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3, the frequency would increase by a factor of 3 to maintain a constant speed.
Speed = wavelength x frequency, so wavelength = speed / frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Double the frequency means half the wavelength.
Remember that wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave.If you increase the wavelength, the frequency will decrease - since the speed of most waves is more or less independent of the frequency or wavelength.
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
The speed changes.
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
If the speed is increased and the frequency stays the same, the wavelength will also increase. Wavelength is inversely proportional to speed for a constant frequency, so as the speed increases, the wavelength will also increase.
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength)
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
speed = freq. X wavelength Hence frequency and wavelength are inversely related when the speed is same. So if the frequency is doubled, then wavelength becomes half of the initial length.
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.
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.
