It really depends on the type of wave. In the case of electromagnetic waves, a higher frequency results in more energy per photon. Therefore, a longer wavelength results in less energy per photon.

∙ 10y agoWith sound, lower frequencies are heard as lower pitch, and higher frequencies are heard as higher pitch.
With visible light, the frequency of the vibration is interpreted as color. For visible light, lower frequencies are towards the red, and higher frequencies toward the blue. Outside the range of visible light, differences in light frequency can be detected by instruments, but they are not usually referred to as colors.

∙ 13y agoas the wavelength lengthens shortens, it increases its frequency, which in turn is proportional to its pitch so the pitch will increase as well.

∙ 13y agoThe frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of the sound. If the frequency of a wave increases causing more waves for every second, the pitch will go up, and vice-versa.

∙ 9y agoThe shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. The pitch goes up.

∙ 12y agoSounds with longer wavelengths have lower pitch. Sounds with shorter wavelengths are higher in pitch. The volume of the sound depends on the amplitude of the wave.

How does frequency affect light?
Frequency is the characteristic of light that gives rise to our experience of color. It is analogous to the relationship of frequency and pitch for sound.
How wavelength frequency and amplitude affect the charasterics?
The wavelength and frequency affect how the way is perceived. In sound it would affect the pitch that you hear, in the visible light spectrum it would affect what color you see. The amplitude would be how easy it is to perceive, it is the intensity (magnitude) of the wave.
What are two factors that affect sound quality?
Speed of Sound and frequency
How does the frequency of light compare to the frequency of sound?
-- The highest frequency of sound audible to the human ear is of the order of 20,000 Hz.-- The lowest frequency of light visible to the human eye is of the order of 375,000,000,000,000 Hz.
How does wavelength affect sound and light?
Sound - pitch Light - color.

What aspect of the sound does changing the frequency of a soundwave change?
the aspect of sound does changing frequency of asuondwave change is tempereture
How does sound affect frequency?
The definition of sound is : "Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear." Sound can be measured by amplitude (loudness) and pitch (The frequency of the vibrations). Therefore sound does not affect frequency but frequency affects the pitch of the sound.
What is an example of frequency?
Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.

What is the ratio of frequency of visible light to frequency of audible sound?
The lowest frequency of visible light ... assume wavelength = 750 nm ...is around 400,000 GHz.The highest frequency of audible sound is around 20 KHz.So the smallest ratio ... lowest frequency of light to highest frequency of sound ...is 4 x 1014/2 x 104 = 20 billion .
What doesnt affect the frequency of a sound wave?
different mediums
How does changing the size of a tambourine affect the sound?
I think I no
What affect if any does frequency have on the amplitude of a wave?
The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be and the frequency (cycles per second) of the oscillation tells how high the sound of the tone will be. The amplitude gives the loudness of the tone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness The frequency gives the pitch of the tone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_%28music%29
How does wavelength affect sound and light?
Sound - pitch Light - color.
