What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
If the speed of a wave while the wavelength remains the same what happens to the frequency?
if the speed increases the frequency increases if the speed decrease the frequency decreases
If the frequency of a sound wave is multiplied by ten what happens to the wave length?
it gets divided by 10; frequency = speed/wavelength; wavelength = speed/frequency
What happens if you change the amplitude or frequency of a sound?
The period would decrease, since the period is simply the reciprocal of the frequency. Also, the wavelength should decrease - since the speed of a wave usually doesn't depend significantly on the frequency, and the wavelength is equal to the speed divided by the frequency.
How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?
Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
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.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
If the speed of a wave while the wavelength remains the same what happens to the frequency?
if the speed increases the frequency increases if the speed decrease the frequency decreases

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
Does wave length affect wave speed?
No....
How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?
Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
As the speed and length of a wave decrease the wave?
An equation that relates three basic quantities for waves in general is:speed = wavelength x frequency In this case, if you increase the speed (without changing the wavelength), the frequency would have to increase; on the other hand, if you increase the wavelength (without changing the speed), the frequency would go decrease.
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)
