For electromagnetic waves:
Speed(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength(lambda)
OR
wavelength(lambda)=speed(v)/frequency(f)
Therefore, wavelength and frequency have an Inverse relationship this means that assuming speed remains constant if the wavelength increases (gets longer) the frequency will decrease.

The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency?
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoIf electromagnetic radiation a has a lower frequency than electromagnetic b then compared to b the wavelength of a is longer.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe lower the frequency, the larger its wavelength. This applies to waves in general.

The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
The frequency of a sound wave determines?
the pitch of the sound.
Do high frequency sound waves have a higher or lower pitch than low frequency sound wave?
Yes! All sound waves, regardless of pitch move at the same speed provided they are in the same medium. Differences in frequency cause the sound to be perceived as higher or lower. A high pitched sound has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength while low pitched sounds have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths
How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Pitch corresponds to what characteristics of a sound wave?
Frequency and amplitude.
What does the pitch of a sound wave depend on?
Timbre of the sound. It is related to the frequency of the fundamental frequency and a combination of overtones.
If a sound wave has a lower frequency it has a longer wavelength?
Yes
In music the frequency of a sound wave is called?
Pitch - In music, the higher or lower the pitch, the higher or lower the note. Pitch is determined by the frequency of the sound waves.
A change in frequency is a change in what?
A change in frequency is a change in pitch, in terms of sound. try to picture a sine wave in your mind. When you lower the frequency of the wave, it stretches the sine wave out (Which is how the pitch of the sound is lowered. I'm assume that you're question is about Audio.) For example, if you had a sound wave at 440Hz (And is aslo the musical note "A" on the center octave), and you changed its frequency to 329.63Hz, it would then sound lower in pitch (The musical note of "E") I hope that helps ;) ~Mitch
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
What causes a sound to have a high or low pitch?
The frequency. Think of it like this. Imagine you two waves like this: __ __ (A) l l__l l__l _ _ (B)l l_l l_l Wave A would be lower than wave B because wave A has a lower frequency, and thus is lower.
Is ultrasonic wave radio frequency?
ultrasonic wave is sound frequency
The pitch of a sound wave is its?
Its' frequency.
The higher the frequency of a sound wave the?
the frequency of a sound wave is higher if its wavelength is shorter
A wave with a frequency that is lower than red?
Red waves have the lowest frequency of all light waves; there is no wave with a lower frequency.
What is the sound of a wave?
The sound made by a wave depends on frequency and amplitude.
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
