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.
As the speed of a particle increases does its associated wavelength increase or decrease?
The wavelength of waves travelling with the same speed would decrease if the frequency of the waves increases. This is because, speed of a wave is the product of the distance of the wavelength times the frequency of the wave. The velocity of a wave is usually constant in a given medium.
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).
How is frequency related to velocity?
the velocity of a wave is given by frequency*its wavelength
What is the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength and angular velocity of electromagnetic wave?
Velocity equals frequency times wavelength

Can you find volocity if you have wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency So, Velocity = Wavelength * Frequency
If the frequency of a wave decrease but the wavelength remains the same what else decrease in the wave?
The velocity decreases. Its the only way.
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
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
What is the relationship betwen wavelength and frequency?
wavelength = velocity / frequency
How does velocity vary with wavelength if frequency is the same?
Velocity equals frequency times wavelength. If frequency is constant, velocity is proportional to wavelength; one increases at the same rate as the other.

How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
