When both source and listener move in the same direction with a velocity equal to half the velocity of sound the change in frequency of the sound as detected by the listener is?
If there is no relative velocity between source and listener, there will be no change in frequency.
What would the result be if the frequency of a wave increases and the velocity stays the same?
The velocity of the wave is equal to the product of the frequency and the wavelength. Therefore, for constant wavelength, the wavelength will decrease. Furthermore, for an electromagnetic wave, the energy of the wave E = hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency, the energy of the wave decreases as frequency decreases (and the velocity within a vacuum is always constant and equal to c).
Why does the frequency of a wave decrease while the wavelegth increases?
Multiplication of wavelength and frequency is equal to velocity of the wave.It is a constant in a medium.So wavelength and frequency is indirectly propotinal.One should increase if other decrease to maintain the constant velocity.
How is frequency related to velocity?
the velocity of a wave is given by frequency*its wavelength
If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006 what is the velocity of the wave?
The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.

If there is no relative velocity between source and listener, there will be no change in frequency.
The wave equation says that a waves speed is equal to its time its frequency?
The speed or velocity of a wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency. The period (amount of time for one wavelength to occur) is equal to 1 over the frequency (the inverse of its frequency).

How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength

Can you find volocity if you have wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency So, Velocity = Wavelength * Frequency
How is frequency related to velocity?
the velocity of a wave is given by frequency*its wavelength
What is the wavelength of a 5Hz wave travelling at 3 meters per second?
velocity is equal to frequency times wavelength. You have velocity and frequency given so wl = v/f. The wavelength is 3/5m, or 6cm.
What is the frequency of a wave with the velocity of 100ms and a wavelength of 20m?
velocity = frequency × wavelength frequency = velocity / wavelength f= 100 /20 f= 5 Hz
If the frequency is doubled then for waves what would be the wavelength and vlocity?
Frequency = Velocity divided by wavelength. So if frequency is doubled that means velocity is doubled but the wavelength is halved. You can see this by keeping wavelength a constant : If Frequency =1 and Wavelength= 1 1= Velocity/1 Velocity=1 If Frequency =2 and Wavelength= 1 2= Velocity/1 Velocity =2 OR keeping Velocity constant: If Frequency =1 and Velocity= 1 1= 1/Wavelength Wavelength =1 If Frequency =2 and Velocity= 1 2= 1/Wavelength Wavelength=1/2
How are sound waves are affected by their frequency and the medium through which the sound wave passes?
The wavelength is equal to the local velocity of sound divided by the frequency, As with light, there can be refraction when sound passes from one medium to another with a different sound velocity.
If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006 what is the velocity of the wave?
The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
