If frequncy f increases the wavelength lambda decreases. c = lambda times f c = speed of sound or speed of light. f is proportional 1 / lambda

What happens to wavelengths when frequency decreses?

Wavelength is inversely proportional to Frequency. Wavelengths increase as Frequency decreases.


When you increase sound what happens to wavelength?

frequency = 1/time? If frequency increases, times decreases, so the wave length decreases


How are wavelength and frequency different?

wavelengths are the distance from where a wave starts and finishes, whereas frequency is the amount of times this happens


What happens when light has higher frequency?

Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.


What happens when you adjust frequency?

when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)


How the wavelengths of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?

The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.


What happens to thewavelenght if you increase the frequency of a wave?

Gets shorter.


What happens to period when frequency increase?

Time period = 1 / frequency. Frequency = 1 / time period. When frequency increases, the period decrises.


How does wavelength change when frequency is constant?

the wavelength changes when the frequency changes if the wavelengths are smaller and thinner then the frequency is high, when the frequency is slow then the wavelengths is larger and wider. if the frequency is constant then the wavelength is a normal size


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.


Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?

The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths


What happens to the frequency of a trait when it has high adaptive value?

If the trait has high adaptive value, the frequency will increase.
