What happens to the wavelength of waves as the frequency gets larger?

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. You figure it out for yourself.


What happenes to the frequency of light when its wavelength increases or decreases?

wavelength = speed of light/frequency so we rearrange frequency = speed of light/wavelength Hopefully you can figure it out from here...


What is the wavelenth of 580 Hertz?

You did not specify the speed of the wave. The relationship is: speed = wavelength x frequency. If you know any two of these three, you can figure out the third one.You did not specify the speed of the wave. The relationship is: speed = wavelength x frequency.

What is the frequency of blue light with a wavelength of 550 nanometers?

f=c/lambda frequency = 299792458 divided by wavelength The freq is in Kilohertz, and the wavelength is in meters. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. I'll let you figure out how to move the decimals points.


Explain how Einstein utilized Planck's quantum concept in explaining the photoelectric effect?

Planck figured out that light was made of particles, and said energy of a quantum = planck's constant*frequency of emitted radiation. Einstein said: 'okay, neither model explains everything-maybe light can be treated as both a wave and a particle (he also came up with the term photon to describe light's particles). He then used Planck's idea to figure out that the energy of a photon depended on its frequency. The logical conclusion was that a given photon must have enough energy to free an electron from the atom-hence, the wave form must have a certain frequency.

How do you figure the percentage in a frequency table?

You find the total of all the frequencies, N. Then the percentage for any frequency is 100*frequency/N.

How you can use a ratio to enlarge or reduce a figure.?

Suppose the ratio is R.Select a side of the first figure. Suppose its length is L1. Draw a line that is L1*R units long.At the end of the line, draw an angle congruent to that on the first figure.Suppose the second side of the first figure is L2. In the second figure, draw a line that is L2*R units long.Continue in the same way all round the figure.
