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.

Is electromagnetic spectrum and frequency spectrum same?

Electromagnetic waves have an associated frequency and wavelength. They are related by c = λν, where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and ν is the frequency. All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. A change in frequency results in a change in wavelength (as required by the given equation). In short, yes. They're the same.


A wave with a frequency of 14 hz has a wavelength of 3 meters At what speed will this wave travel?

The speed of a wave is the product of its frequency and its wavelength.


What increases when sound wave travel in solid from gas medium frequency or wavelength?

Velocity increases when sound waves travel from gas medium to solid medium. As velocity = frequency * wave length and the frequency does not change, v is directly proportional to the wave length... Hence the wavelength increases.


How do you find wavelength when distance is given?

Wavelength = speed divided by frequency. Speed = distance divided by time. Therefore: Wavelength = distance divided by (frequency x time). You therefore need to know the frequency of the wave and the time it takes to travel in unit time.


What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a 1 hz frequency?

The distance light takes to travel in a second (just less than 30000000metres).


What travels faster short or long wavelength?

Short wavelengths travel faster than long wavelengths. This is because light travels at a constant speed, and since wavelength is inversely related to frequency (shorter wavelength means higher frequency), shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and thus travel faster.


How fast does a 500-Hz wave travel if its wavelength is 0.5 m?

499.5


Do waves change shape as they travel?

Yes, waves can change shape as they travel due to interactions with the medium they are propagating through, such as diffraction, reflection, refraction, and interference. The shape of a wave can also be affected by the frequency, amplitude, and wavelength of the wave.


When waves travel from one medium to another what does not change?

The character frequency would never change


If the wavelength of light increases the frequency?

As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases. A wavelength is the distance from, say, a crest to a crest, or perhaps a trough to a trough. Frequency is essentially how many waves or how many cycles of a wave there are per unit of time, and we usually apply the term cycles per second or Hertz (which means cycles per second) to it.Wavelength is the physical distance the wave will travel as a single cycle of that wave occurs. And wavelength is a function of both frequency and of the speed of propagation of that wave. In any case, a longer wavelength is associated with a lower frequency. Increasing (lengthening) the wavelength decreases the frequency.


Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?

The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths


Frequency multipled by hertz equals speed?

No; hertz is frequency.Frequency times wavelength equals speed of travel.
