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 happens to particles when condesing?

When particles are condensing in a substance, they combine into fewer, larger particles. These larger particles become the liquid's mass at its condensation or boiling temperature.


What happens to the speed of the particles of the size increases?

Gets larger


What happens to the speed of particles when the size is increased?

Gets larger


Do particles get bigger and fill a larger volume when a liquid turns into a gas?

Particles don't get bigger, however they fill a larger volume when turned into gas, this is because of diffusion, this is when particles in a higher concentration move to a lower concentration, this happens everyday in your body and in the domestic house hold


When the wavelength becomes smaller the frequency?

when the wavelength become smaller frequency becomes larger


What happens to kinetic energy when matter gets warmer?

The average kinetic energy of the individual particles gets larger in this case.


What happens to the kinetic energy when matter gets warmer?

The average kinetic energy of the individual particles gets larger in this case.


Does a deeper sound have a greater wavelength?

A sound that is lower in pitch has a larger wavelength. Some animals such as Elephants and Whales use that sound to communicate with each other. The larger wavelength lets them communicate with animals miles away.


What happens to the particles in colloids?

A colloid has particles small enough that they will never settle out; brownian motionkeeps them in suspension. A colloid shows the Tyndall effect. An emulsion or suspension has droplets or particles which, due to their larger size, separate from a suspension.to form a layer or precipitate.


What happens to the intensity of a bright fringe when the wavelength of the light is increased?

It decreases. This is because the same amount of energy is distributed over a larger area (wavelength increases, so fringe spacing also increases). Energy per unit area decreases and this is why intensity decreases.


How do particles in solutions differ from those in suspension?

The dispersed particles of a suspension are larger than the particles of a colloid.
