Is wavelength and frequency vary inversly?
The speed at which a wave propagates is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The wavelength and the frequency vary inversely because the speed of a certain type of wave in a certain type of medium under certain conditions is constant.
How are both frequency and wavelength related in terms of physics?
Frequency is how many waves pass a certain point during an amount of time. Wavelength is the distance between two points. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in Physics. If the distance between the peaks of a wave decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. If the distance is increased, the frequency decreases.
The number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second is?
No that is frequency. Wavelength is how long it takes one wave to pass a certain point fully once
How does increasing the wavelength affect the frequency?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency is changed by some percentage, the wavelength changes by the same percentage in the other direction, in order to keep their product the same as it was.
A certain wave has a wavelength of 35 meters and a frequency of 4.0 Hz What is the speed of the wave?
5.0 hz
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happens to the wavelength of that wave?
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled?
If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.

What happens to the wavelength of a wave that slows down while retaining its original frequency?
As the basic formula of all types of waves is (Velocity of a wave=the product of the wavelength of it and its frequency). In this case, frequency of a certain wave is constant and the velocity is decreasing. And as the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength, the wavelength of the wave shortens as a result.

How can you classify smell based on different physical parameters like frequency amplitude or wavelength?
Smell has nothing to do with frequency, amplitude, or wavelength. It is more about detecting the presence of certain types of molecules.
How radio communicate works?
Radio communication works on radio signals that are "beamed" into the air on a certain frequency. Frequency is a certain wavelength or band. The receiving equipment has to be set to receive the signal on the same frequency.
