How can you double the frequency of a wave if you have control over both the wavelength and the wave velocity?

You can either halve the wavelength, keeping the wave speed constant; or double the wave speed, keeping the wavelength constant.


What would happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is halved?

The wavelength would double.


If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happens to the wavelength of that wave?

Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.


What happens to the wavelenght of a wave when the frequencey of the wave doubled but speed stays same?

Speed = wavelength x frequency, so wavelength = speed / frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Double the frequency means half the wavelength.


Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?

Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:


What happens to the wavelength of a wave that is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled?

If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.


How does frequencey relate to wavelength?

Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)


The distance between two successive peaks on a wave is its?

The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.


How do you calculate wavelength from wavenumber?

Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number


How do wavelength and periods relate?

Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.


If the speed of a wave doubles while the wavelength remains the same what happens to the wavelength?

You actually answered your own question. The wavelength remains the same since it is stated as part of the problem. However, the frequency, which I am betting you are more interested in will double. The frequency is releated to the wavelength and the speed of the wave by the following equation f = v/l where f is the frequency, v is the speed, and l is the wavelength. So if the velocity doubles and the wavelength is constant, then the frequency will double.


How do you calculate the speed of a wave?

you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
