Can you change frequency and wave length at same time?

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


How the frequency of the wave is related to its time period?

inversely ...wave length = 1/frequency


Is frequency proportional to distance?

Frequency is proportional to time, the number of cycles at a certain frequency is proportional to its length(distance).


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 type of genetic change is most important for evolution?

Evolution is the change in allele ( different molecular form of the same gene ) frequency over time in a population of organisms.


What is the dimension of force if density and frequency and acceleration due to gravity are the bare quantities?

Frequency and density aren't involved as 'bare quantities' in force. The bare quantities that constitute force are mass, length, and time, and the physical dimension of force is (mass) x (length)/(time)2 . The 'length' and 'time' combine to result in (length)/(time)2, and that's the 'acceleration' that you did include.


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.
