∙ 9y agoFor many waves:
- the frequency of the wave is set by whatever is driving the oscillation in the medium. Examples are a speaker that sets up a sound wave, or the hand that shakes the end of a stretched string.
- the speed of the wave is a property of the medium.
- the wavelength λ of the wave is then determined by the frequency f and speed v:
λ = v/f

How is frequency related to velocity?
the velocity of a wave is given by frequency*its wavelength
What type of proportion are wavelength and frequency in the wavelength frequency equation?
They are inversely related
What is the frequency of an EM wave that has a wavelength of 1 mm?
If only there were an equation that related the speed of EM waves, wavelength, and frequency... c=(wavelength)(frequency) Make sure and keep your units straight.
How does one measure the wavelength of a longitudinal wave?
Okay, it is very simple. The formula is: the velocity is equal to the product of the frequency and wavelength. v= fλ the lambda is the wavelength. Using basic arithmetic, you can rearrange the equation to : λ= v/f There you go. That's how to find the wavelength
Why does a light of low wavelength have high frequency?
We must keep in memory the following formula connecting wave velocity, wave frequency and wavelength. Namely, c = v l v is nu - frequency and l - lambda the wavelength Since for a constant value of wave velocity, v and l are inversely related. So as wavelength is low, then its frequency goes higher.
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
How is frequency related to velocity?
the velocity of a wave is given by frequency*its wavelength
How are wavelength frequency and energy are related?
Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength
What type of proportion are wavelength and frequency in the wavelength frequency equation?
They are inversely related
Are frequency and wavelength related?
Yes, velocity equals the product of frequency times wavelength, v=fw.
Which equation shows how frequency is related to velocity and wavelength?
No suitable equation appears on the list of choices that you posted along with the question.
How are wave length and wave frequency are related?
velocity = frequency x wavelength
Why does a wave with short wavelenth have a high frequency?
Wave velocity in general = frequency x wavelength As the velocity of the wave remains constant then frequency and wavelength are inversely related So as the wavelength becomes shorter then frequency becomes larger or higher
What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300000 kilometers?
The formula related to frequency and wavelength is Wavelength = 300000000 / Frequency (f) Wavelength = 300000000 / 30000000000 Wavelength = 1/100 Wavelength = 0.01 meter OR Wavelength = 10 milimeter
How is the frequency of a wave related toits wave length?
Frequency of the a wave equals its velocity divided by its wavelength.
What is the frequency of an EM wave that has a wavelength of 1 mm?
If only there were an equation that related the speed of EM waves, wavelength, and frequency... c=(wavelength)(frequency) Make sure and keep your units straight.
