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.

∙ 9y agoYes. Exactly. The product of a wave's frequency and its wavelength is constant ... it's the
wave's speed. So if either the wavelength or the frequency changes, then the other one
must also change, by the same factor in the opposite direction.

What does the wave length of an EM wave tell about its energy?
Longer wavelength less energy and shorter wavelength equals more energy. This is because velocity (speed)=frequency x wavelength. And te velocity of all EM waves is the speed of light. we know the expression- frequency=speed of light(c)/wavelength Energy is given by- E=h*frequency=h*c/wavelength {h=Planck's constant} so,energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversly proportional to wavelength...that is energy increases with increase in frequency and decreases with increase in wavelength. example:-red color has more wavelength and hence has less energy.
What happens to the wavelength if the frequency of pulses increased?
If the frequency is increased the wavelength will be decreased. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed c of the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
How is the energy of a photon related to its frequency and wavelength?
wavelength : wavelength is the distance from crest of one wave to the crest of next frequency : the number of waves that passes a given point in one second energy : the amplitude or intensity of a wave energy and frequency is directly proportional to each other when energy is high frequency is also high wavelength and frequency or energy is inversly proportional to each other when wavelength is high frequency or energy is low
Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?
No, the frequency decreases as the wavelength lengthens. The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
What is the relationshipo between frequencies ampilitude and waveform?
wave length is inversly proportional to the frequency of the same wave. i.e, if the wavelength of the signal is too large then frequency will be decreased.
How does velocity vary with wavelength if frequency is the same?
Velocity equals frequency times wavelength. If frequency is constant, velocity is proportional to wavelength; one increases at the same rate as the other.

Electromagnetic waves vary in?
Electromagnetic waves vary in wavelength, Energy and frequency E = hf = hc/w.
Can you find volocity if you have wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency So, Velocity = Wavelength * Frequency
Relationship between frequency velocity and wavelength?
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength)

No, the frequency decreases as the wavelength lengthens. The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency.
How do you find the frequency of a wavelength?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
