How would the wavelength of a wave change if the speed of the wave increased but not the frequency?
The wavelength would increase by the same proportion.
How does changing the wavelength affect the speed of a wave?
The universal wave equation states that v = fλ, therefore wavelength is directly related to the speed of the wave. That means that if the frequency is increased, the speed is also increased and vice versa, as long as frequency is kept constant.
What happens to the frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decrased and why?
The freequency of a wave is increased when the wavelength is decreased. This is because the product of the frequency and the wavelength are a constant that determines the speed of the wave c=fw.
What is the equation for finding the wavelength of a wave?
wavelength = (wave speed) / (frequency) frequency = (wave speed) / (wavelength) Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?
speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength
How does frequencey relate to wavelength?
Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?
Wavelength, wave speed is determined by the medium.
How wavelength of wave traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the wave increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
What is the equivalent wavelength of 1000 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.
As the frequency of a wave of constant speed is increased does the wavelength increase or decrease?
frequency x wavelength = speedSo, if you increase frequency, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
Equal to the frequency x wavelength?
That is the speed of the wave.That is the speed of the wave.That is the speed of the wave.That is the speed of the wave.
What is the relationship between wavelength wave frequency and wave velocity?
wave velocity (m/s) = frequency (Hz) x wavelength (m) wavelength = wave speed / frequency frequency = wave speed / wavelength
What is the relationship between wave speed frequency and wavelength?
(frequency) multiplied by (wavelength) = (wave speed)
What is the relationship between wave frequency wavelength and wave speed?
Speed = wavelength x frequency.
What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?
frequency x wavelength = speed (of the wave)
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
What is wave speed?
Wave Speed is Wavelength times Frequency
How are the wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?

Who does the speed of a wave relate to its wavelength and frequency?
The speed of any wave is the product of (wavelength) x (frequency) .
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 0.60m and a frequency of 240 hz?
The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.
How are the frequency and the wavelength of a wave traveling at a constant speed related?
frequency = speed of wave / wavelength so if speed is constant then frequency varies inversely with wavelength
What is the speed of a water wave having a wavelength of 2m and a frequency of 0.2hz?
For any wave, the speed of the wave is the product of its frequency and of its wavelength.
What is the frequency of a water wave that has a speed of 0.4 meter per second and a wavelength of 0.02 meter?
Divide the speed by the wavelength. (For any wave, the wavelength times the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave.)
