Can you think of other ways of describing the wavelength of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave refers to the distance between two crests or the distance between two troughs. The length of one complete wave cycle is called a wavelength.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
How is a waves frequency related to a waves length?
The product of the wave's frequency and the wave's wave length is equal to the speed of propagation of the wave.
What is the length of full wave?
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.

Do waves have length?
Yes. Wavelength is one of the fundamental variables in describing a wave.
When describing waves wavelength refers to the wave's?
The wavelength is the length (distance) between two adjacent crests (or troughs, or any other part of the wave which starts repeating).
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
Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
What type of light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
How is a waves frequency related to a waves length?
The product of the wave's frequency and the wave's wave length is equal to the speed of propagation of the wave.
What is the length of full wave?
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".
What is the word describing the material through which a wave passes?
A wave can only pass through a medium
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
