wavelength decreases the frequency of light increases since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
frequency = velocity / wavelength
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoWhen the frequency increases the wavelength decreases. The wavelength is the distance between consecutive peaks in the waveform (or consecutive troughs)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe wavelength decreases as the frequency increases.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoWavelength decreases because it is inversely related to frequency.
Wavelength*Frequency = Speed (of wave, light, etc.)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIf the wavelength decreases, then the frequency increases if the wave is traveling at the same velocity.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoWhen a wave's frequency decreases, its wavelength increases.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoBy exactly the same factor, so that their product remains constant.
(That product is called the "speed" of the wave.)

What happens when you increase the frequency of a sound wave?
Speed = distance / time [m /s]likewise:Speed of wave = wavelength x frequency [m /s]Since sound waves travel at a fixed speed through a medium* a drop in frequency must cause a corresponding increase in wavelength*Not always true. In water of example, lower frequency waves travel faster than higher frequency waves. When this happens the waves are said to be travelling through a dispersive medium.
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.
If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?
Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.
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.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound wave gets higher?
Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases
As frequency increases the energy of a wave increases or decreases?
As frequency increases the energy of a wave also increases.
When you increase sound what happens to wavelength?
frequency = 1/time? If frequency increases, times decreases, so the wave length decreases
What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency decreases and the waveleNgth increases?
the wave decreases.
As the frequency of a wave increases what happens to the wavelength?
As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
What increases when the period of a wave decreases?
frequency
As the period of a wave increases the frequency increases.?
The period decreases.
Are loudness and pitch properties of sound or property of waves?
Loudness and pitch are properties of sound which can be determined by looking at the sound wave. You have a high pitch when the frequency of the wave increases or the wavelenght (lambda) decreases. When the amplitude increases the loudness of the wave increases as well.
As the frequency of a set of waves increases do the period of each wave decreases?
The frequency and period of a wave are inversely proportional. Therefore, as the frequency increases, the period decreases. frequency = 1/period period = 1/frequency
What happens when the frequency of a wave increases?
The wave's wavelength decreases correspondingly.
If the frequency of a wave increases what does that do to waves wavelenght?
The length of the wave decreases.
Determine which two properties of a sound wave change when pitch gets higher?
Its wavelength increases and its frequency decreases
