You always do. Whenever you change one, the other one automatically

changes in the opposite direction, so that their product remains constant.

(Their product is the wave's speed.)

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.


Why is it impossible to increase the frequency and the the wave length of a wave at the same time?

v = w*f. If w (wave length) is increased f (frequency) must go down to keep v (velocity) 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


What would happen to the sound if you changed both the length and the tension of the string at the same time?

Changing both the length and tension of a string simultaneously will greatly affect its frequency and pitch. Increasing tension while decreasing length will raise the pitch, and vice versa. This is due to the relationship between frequency, tension, and length in vibrating strings.


How do you calculate the frequency?

Count the number of events occurring during a time period. Then frequency = number of events/length of time period.


The length of time between a point in one cycle and the same point in the next cycle of an ac wave is the?

this is called time period of the wave. it is also the inverse of frequency of wave.


Are genetic equilibrium and evolution the same?

No. Evolution is the change in allele ( different molecular forms of the same gene ) frequency over time in a population of organisms. No equilibrium there.


What is the mathematical formula for speed uding the variables stride frequency and stride length?

Stride Frequency= # of Stride/ time. the unit used is strides/sec Stride Length= speed/stride frequency. the unit used is m/stride


Which property of a wave is defined as the length of time between pulses?

The length of time between pulses is the "pulse repetition rate". The length of time between consecutive waves is the "period". It's the reciprocal of the frequency.


What is the difference between Megahertz and a meter?

Hertz is the unit of frequency and meter the unit of length. Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. Length is a measurement of distance or dimension.


Sounds can vary in volume and what?

Sound waves can vary in amplitude (volume), fequency (pitch), and wave length. Wave length is a resulting factor of frequency as the speed is usually constant. approx 350m/s. Speed = wavelength x frequency (speed = distance / time, frequency = 1/time)


Is the workout frequency the length of time your workout takes each day?

No frequency refers to how often you work out. Duration is how long each day.
