It means that you and another person have cognitive dissonance, that you cannot understand each other, that you and the other person just cannot "connect," or that the other person has their mind elsewhere.

How can you the word wave length in a sentence?

I'm glad that we are finally on the same wave length.


What happens to the wave length when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?

The wave length would necessarily be one half. The speed would remain the same independent of the frequency.


What is sine wave wave length?

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO WAVES....A wave length is the the point between each wave at the exact same point on each of the waves.


Do all colours have same wave length?

No, not at all.


Is a wave length longer or shorter in water than in air?

the wave length stays the same length, it'll just diffract fron the air to the water and vice versa.


Do all sound waves have the same wave length but different frequencies?

no


What is the relationship between length and wave frequency?

Frequency is inversely proportional to the wave length, thus saying the shorter the wave length the higher the frequency and vice versa.The frequency is the number of waves within a time period. As the frequency within that time period increases, the number of waves increases, therefore the width of each wave (wavelength) within that time period has to decrease. Therefore:As the wave length increases, the frequency decreasesAs the wave length decreases, the frequency increases


Why is it impossible to increase the frequency and the the wave length of a wave at the same time?

v = w*f. If w (wave length) is increased f (frequency) must go down to keep v (velocity) constant.


What describes the differences between two sounds having the same pitch?

If pitch means frequency, then they differ in wave length and if pitch means wave length, then they differ in frequency.


What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?

When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.


What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?

When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.


Do wave length remain constant?

It depends on the type of wave you mean and the situation applied to. Water waves slow down when they reach shallow water and their wave-length shortens. This is why waves 'break', the back-side of the wave over-takes the slower lead-side. Light waves, when they encounter a polar molecule are absorbed and remitted at a shorter wave length. Electrons (wave-particle duality) change their wave-length when changing energy states.
