The frequency and period of a wave are inversely proportional. Therefore, as the frequency increases, the period decreases.
frequency = 1/period
period = 1/frequency

As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases
If the frequency of a wave increases what does that do to waves wavelenght?
The length of the wave decreases.
What decreases in a wave when its frequency increases?
The wavelength. For all waves, speed = frequency x wavelength.
What frequency of waves increases wavelength .?
When the frequency DECREASES, the wavelength INCREASES, and vice versa.This assumes the speed of the wave remains constant.
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
As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases
If the waves speed stays the same what decreases as the frequency increases?
The wavelength decreases.
If the frequency of a wave increases what does that do to waves wavelenght?
The length of the wave decreases.
What decreases in a wave when its frequency increases?
The wavelength. For all waves, speed = frequency x wavelength.
What frequency of waves increases wavelength .?
When the frequency DECREASES, the wavelength INCREASES, and vice versa.This assumes the speed of the wave remains constant.
If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?
The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
What will the wavelength of a wave do if the period of the wave increases?
The wavelength will increase if the period increases.Proof:First define the terms: Wavelength = Lamda (λ), Velocity of propagation = v, frequency = f, period of oscillation = T. Frequency asks "how many waves per unit time (seconds usually)".Period asks "How much time (seconds) does it take for one wave cycle to complete".Also, frequency is inversely proportional to period, so f = 1/T. Also, T = 1/f.(Incidentally, note that as period (T) increases, then frequency (f) gets decreases. Or if frequency increases, then period decreases.)λ = v/forλ = vT. (by replacing f with 1/T)If the frequency decreases, OR/AND the velocity increases, then wavelength corespondingly increases.If the period increases OR/AND the velocity increases, then the wavelength increases.

What decreases as the frequency of the radiation increases?
I would say the most obvious is the length of the constituent waves.
How the wavelength of waves traviling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?
Speed is (Length/Time). Wavelength is (Length), and Frequency is (1/Time).Speed = (Wavelength)*(Frequency). With a constant speed, Wavelength and Frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So if one increases, the other decreases.
When there are more more waves passing through the reference point in a period what happens to the wavelength of the wave?
With the wave speed is constant, and the number of cycles which pass a reference point increases, the frequency must increase. With higher frequency and constant speed, the wavelength decreases.
If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases the speed of the wave does what?
If the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed cof the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
