Once the light leaves the source, its frequency doesn't change, no matter what it

travels through or what kind of exciting adventure it encounters.

But if it passes from one medium to another one with a different index of

refraction, then the speed and wavelength change, and the direction of a

ray of light may change.

What occurs when waves and combine?

If waves are going opposite directions: If the two waves have the same amplitude and frequency, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a flatline. If one has a greater amplitude, it will "absorb" the smaller one and the result will be a wave with amplitude of the difference between the two original waves, going in the direction of the first wave with greater amplitude. If they're going the same direction: If the waves have the same frequency and phase, the will simply add on to each other, resulting in a larger wave. If the two have the same frequency but different phase, some parts of the waves will be offset to result in a wave with different amplitude but same frequency (depending how off-phase the waves are). If they have the same frequency and exactly opposite phases, the two will offset into a flatline. If they have different frequency, then it will result in a completely different wave with different frequency, phase, and amplitude.


If the frequency of oscillation on earth is n then frequency of oscillation on moon will be?

Wouldn't that depend on what's doing the oscillating ? If it's a stone on the end of a rubber band, or a pendulum, or anything else like that where the period depends on the weight of something, then of course it's going to be different, because the weight of the weight is different. But if it's an oscillation of voltage and current in an electronic circuit, then weight/gravity has nothing to do with the frequency. The frequency of radio transmissions from astronauts in flight, as well as the frequency of their voices for that matter, is the same whether they're on Earth, on the moon, or weightless in orbit somewhere.


The different between were and was?

They are different 'bits' of the same verb, to 'be', in the past tense. It just depends on what pronoun you are using, so:Singular.1. I was2. You were3. He/She/It wasPlural.1. We were2. You were3. They wereI was going...You were going...He was going...We were going...You were going...They were going...Hope this helps...


What is the relationship between frequency and wave lenth?

This is hard to explain without drawing a picture! If you imagine a wave going up and down (a bit like this.....ununun) then wavelength is the distance between the peaks or troughs (high and low points) on the wave. The frequency is how many oscillations of a wave there are in certain distance or time. So the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency because you can fit more waves into a certain distance. So longer wavelengths have a lower frequency.

How can you get the effect of continuous photo flashes going off?

try using several strobe lights, set to different frequencies, place a variety of blue filters over them, or yellow, this will imitate not only the flash frequency but different types of flash
