How can you double the frequency of a wave if you have control over both the wavelength and the wave velocity?

You can either halve the wavelength, keeping the wave speed constant; or double the wave speed, keeping the wavelength constant.


How does one measure the wavelength of a longitudinal wave?

Okay, it is very simple. The formula is: the velocity is equal to the product of the frequency and wavelength. v= fλ the lambda is the wavelength. Using basic arithmetic, you can rearrange the equation to : λ= v/f There you go. That's how to find the wavelength


How are frequency wavelength and color interdependent on each other?

Each colour has different wavelengths....For example: In VIBGYOR It is in the order of increasing wavelength i.e Compared to red violet is having the shorter wavelength..... The frequency and wavelength are related by the equation: In vaccum: frequency= c/wavelengthwherec is the velocity of light in free spaceWhereas in any medium,frequency= Velocity of light in that medium/wavelength So, it is clear from the formula that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.... As the wavelength changes with colour the frequency also changes according to that.............. If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be low and viceversa....


What happens to a wavelength when the amplitude and frequency are both increased?

What increases As the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?

Remember that for any wave, wavelength x frequency = speed (of the wave). So, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Also, since the energy of a photon is proportional to the frequency, the energy will decrease as well in this case.

What is the formula to find the wavelength of a wave in a vacuum?

The wave speed equation proposes that: v = fw; where "v" is the wave's velocity, "f" is the wave's frequency, and "w" (more notably used as lambda) is the wave's wavelength. Manipulating the equation and solving for wavelength yields: w = v/f. Thus, if one knows both the velocity and frequency of a wave, he/she can divide velocity by frequency to determine the corresponding wave's wavelength.

How many times greater is the speed of infrared light than the speed of violet light in vacuum wavelength of the violet light is around 400nm and wavelength of infrared is 800nm?

It isn't. The velocity of both is the same at about 2.998x108m/s. A change in wavelength is associated with a change in frequency not velocity. The frequency of Ultraviolet light is about 750 PHz (Peta Hertz) while that of infrared half that at 375PHz.

Sound waves whose frequency is 300 Hz have a speed relative to sound waves in the same medium whose frequency is 600 Hz that is?

Since velocity of wave = frequency x wavelength (or v=fλ), and velocity is assumed to be the same for both since they're in the same medium,f1λ1 = f2λ2300λ1 = 9000λ2λ1/λ2 = 9000/300 = 30Thus, the wavelength of the 300Hz frequency sound wave is 30 times greater than the 9000Hz frequency sound wave.

How are x-rays and earthquake waves similar?

They are both transverse waves, albeit having different wavelength and frequency. I think that velocity of the waves will also be different as x-rays travel at the speed of light.


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.
