What are four ways a 'wave' can be changed?

wavelength, amplitude, frequency, and wave speed


What are the effects of changing the frequency of a wave?

The wavelength and the energy are automatically changed.


What happens to the speed of a wave if the wavelength and frequency are changed?

The speed changes.


The speed of a wave is its wavelength multiplied by its what?

The speed of light is fairly constant. 3.0X10^8 meters per second. Sounds' speed varies with conditions , but like light it is not changed by wavelength/frequency or amplitude.


Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?

Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:


How does frequencey relate to wavelength?

Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)


The distance between two successive peaks on a wave is its?

The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.


How do you calculate wavelength from wavenumber?

Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number


How do wavelength and periods relate?

Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.


How do you calculate the speed of a wave?

you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency


Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?

No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the wave.


How do you find the wavelength of a wave?

To get the wavelength of a wave simply divide the wavespeed with its frequency.
