What decreases as the frequency of a sound wave increases?

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 are frequency speed and wavelength related?

Frequency, speed, and wavelength are related through the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength. This means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases to maintain a constant speed, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the wave equation, where the product of frequency and wavelength determines the speed at which a wave travels.


The frequency and wavelength of all waves are?

The frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations it makes per unit time, measured in hertz, while the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of similar phase along the wave.


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.

As frequency increases the energy of a wave increases or decreases?

As frequency increases the energy of a wave also increases.


What will happen as frequency of a wave increases and the speed remains constant?

As the frequency of a wave increases while the speed remains constant, the wavelength of the wave will decrease. This is because the speed of a wave is the product of its frequency and wavelength, according to the wave equation v = f * λ. So if the speed is constant and frequency increases, wavelength must decrease to maintain this relationship.


What all factors happen to a wave when the volume increases?

When the volume of a wave increases, the amplitude of the wave increases, causing it to become louder. The frequency and wavelength of the wave remain the same. Increasing the volume of a wave does not affect its speed.


When frequency of a wave increases what else increases?

The hertz is the unit of measurement for which of these? z


What causes the frequency of a wave to increase?

The frequency of a wave increases when the number of wave cycles passing a fixed point in a given time period increases. This can happen when the wave source vibrates more rapidly or when the wave travels through a medium with higher speed.


What will the frequency of a wave do if the period of the wave increases?

If the period increases, the frequency decreases.The product of (frequency) times (period) is always ' 1 '.


What increases when the frequency of a wave increases?

energy


What is the relationship between length and wave frequency?

Frequency is inversely proportional to the wave length, thus saying the shorter the wave length the higher the frequency and vice versa.The frequency is the number of waves within a time period. As the frequency within that time period increases, the number of waves increases, therefore the width of each wave (wavelength) within that time period has to decrease. Therefore:As the wave length increases, the frequency decreasesAs the wave length decreases, the frequency increases


When the period of a wave increases does the frequency increases?

No, frequency and period are inversely related. As the period of a wave increases, the frequency decreases. Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a point in a given time, while period is the time it takes for a wave cycle to complete.


Which wave property increases as the number of vibrations producing the wave increases?

The frequency of the wave increases as the number of vibrations producing the wave increases.


What happens to the wavelength when the frequency of a light wave increases?

When the frequency of a light wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave, meaning as one increases, the other decreases.


Which wave property increases as the number of vibration producing the wave increases?

The frequency of the wave increases as the number of vibrations producing the wave increases. Frequency refers to the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in a given amount of time.
