Does increasing the frequency of a wave also increase the wavelength?

Increasing the frequency will always decrease the wavelength. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed c of 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

Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same. What will the result be when this happens?
Assuming an electromechanical wave not much. The speed of the wave depends on the medium that the wave is passing through. In a vacuum it is the speed of light, through something else a lesser speed. The wavelength stays the same and the frequency stays the same.
When increasing fiber intake it is also important to increase what?
water
How will a pressure increase affect a gaseous system?
According to Boyle's Law of Pressure-Volume Relationship, an increase in the pressure of a gas will decrease it's volume. And according to Charles's Law of Temperature-Pressure Relationship, an increase in pressure causes an increase in temperature.
What is relationship between specific gravity and concentration of sodium hydroxide?
Increasing the concentration of NaOH the density also increase.
Why is copper sulphate powder dissolved in boiling water?
Increasing the temperature the solubility increase, also the dissolution rate.
What happens to wavelength as a wave leaves the air and enters the perspex?
The wavelength bends forward as it leaves the air and enters the Perspex. The frequency of the wavelength will also increase.
What happens to the wave when you increase the wavelength?
More energy would be transferred in the wave, so a sound wave would get louder and a light wave would get brighter. The wavespeed, frequency, and wavelength of the wave will remain the same.
How do wavelengths and frequencies change?
V=f *lambda where v = wave speed, f=frequency and lambda= wavelength. Frequency increase as the energy of a wave increases because E=hf where h is a constant so E/h=f. if E increase f has to increase. Wavelength decreases because if the frequency increases the wavelength would also have to decrease as v/f=lambda. Therefore the larger the frequency is the smaller the wave lengthen will be.
Why is it not possible to increase the wavelength and frequency at the same time?
Wavelength times frequency equals speed (of the wave). Therefore, unless you also change the speed, if wavelength goes up, frequency goes down, and vice versa.Wavelength times frequency equals speed (of the wave). Therefore, unless you also change the speed, if wavelength goes up, frequency goes down, and vice versa.Wavelength times frequency equals speed (of the wave). Therefore, unless you also change the speed, if wavelength goes up, frequency goes down, and vice versa.Wavelength times frequency equals speed (of the wave). Therefore, unless you also change the speed, if wavelength goes up, frequency goes down, and vice versa.
What happens as the frequency of photons increases?
For electromagnetic radiation,c = speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s = frequency x wavelengthAs the frequency of light waves increase, the wavelength decreases. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light, c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength will decrease, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.
As the frequency of a wave goes up what happens to the wavelength?
If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave, energy is proportional to frequency (E=hf, h=Planck's constant). So by increasing frequency, the energy it carries is also increased.
Does an increase in wavelength result in higher frequency?
no, as the wavelengths become longer, they also become less frequent.the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency===========================The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) never changes. So if either one changes,then the other one must change in exactly the opposite direction, in order to keeptheir product constant.(That product is the speed of the wave.)
Describe how the frequency of a wave changes as the wavelength changes?
it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also 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.
What are different colors of light differ in their?
Wavelength. You could also say frequency, since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
What is the Effect of spring stiffness on natural frequency?
the spring stiffness effect the natural frequency of the beam. the increasing value of spring stiffness lead to the increase value of natural frequency of the beam also.
If the frequency of a water wave changes what must also change?
The wavelength also changes.The product [ (frequency) times (wavelength) ] is the speed of a wave, which is constant.So in order for frequency to change, wavelength must change in the opposite direction, tokeep their product constant.
