Describe how the frequency of a wave changes as the wavelength changes?

it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also increases

∙ 9y agoSpeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength.
Assuming the speed of the wave doesn't change, if the wavelength increases then the frequency decreases.

How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
How does changing the wavelength affects the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength changes inversely with the frequency.
How does changing the frequency of the wave affect wavelength?
The wavelength changes inversely with the frequency.
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
How does the frequency of a wave change as its wave length changes?
You can see how the frequency of a wave changes as its wavelength changes by using the formula Velocity= wavelength x frequencyIf for example we are talking about the speed of light (Which does change) and the wavelength is reduced, then the frequency has to increase in order to balance out to the speed of light.Another way to view it is like this:The frequency of a wave changes with the wavelength by what happens to the wavelength. For instance, if the wavelength is doubled, the frequency is halved, and vise versa.
When a sound wave passes from air into water do you expect the frequency wavelength to change?
The speed of the wave increases, the frequency remains constant and the wavelength increases. The angle of the wave also changes.
What happens to the speed of a wave if the wavelength and frequency are changed?
The speed changes.
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
What changes in the wave when you increase the wavelength?
The frequency becomes lower. Frequency is how fast the waves come by.
How does frequencey relate to wavelength?
Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)
Can you describe the parts of a sound wave?
Crest and Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency
