Frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength.
As you can see from this formula, when the wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
For example, we will say that the standard wavelength is 5m.
F = 3.0 x 108 / 5
= 60,000,000 hertz
Say if we increased the wavelength to 6m:
F = 3.0 x 108 / 6
= 50,000,000 hertz
As you can see, if we increase the wavelength, the frequency decreases.
If we decreased the wavelength to 4m:
F = 3.0 x 108 / 4
= 75,000,000 hertz
As you can see, if we decrease the wavelength, the frequency decreases.

What is the formula for wave speed?
There are a few different formulas, depending on what measurements you know. For mechanical waves . . . the mechanical characteristics of the medium. For electromagnetic waves . . . the electrical characteristics of the medium. For all waves . . . the product of (wavelength) multiplied by (frequency).
To determine the speed of a wave what formula would you use?
speed = wavelength x frequency
What is your frequency?
Frequncy is the speed of an electrical wave through a conducting material.for example a wave of frequency 50 Hz takes 20 milli seconds(1/50) to complete one cycle.
If the speed of a wave while the wavelength remains the same what happens to the frequency?
if the speed increases the frequency increases if the speed decrease the frequency decreases
What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency decreases and the waveleNgth increases?
the wave decreases.
What happens when you increase the speed of a wave what happens to the wavelength?
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is decreased?
In this case, the wavelength increases. The wavelength, multiplied by the frequency, is equal to the speed of the wave - and in most types of waves, the speed is more or less independent of the frequency.
What happens when frequency increases?
The pitch is higher, and the wave has more energy
Describe how the frequency of a wave changes as the wavelength changes?
it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also increases
As the frequency of a wave increases what happens to the wavelength?
As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
What happens to the wavelength of lights as the frequency increases?
For any wave (not just light), the product of the wavelength and the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave. For light in a vaccum, the speed is constant (ca. 300 million m/s). - thus, as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter.
How wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the Waves increases?
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.
How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increases?
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 happens when the frequency of a wave increases?
The wave's wavelength decreases correspondingly.
What happens to the period of a wave when the frequency decreases?
The period and frequency of a wave are inversely related, i.e. the period is the time it takes for wave to go through a cycle, and the frequency is the number of cycles in a certain time period. For example, a wave with a period of 0.5 seconds would have a frequency of 2 per second. Since these properties are the inverse of each other, than they will be opposite when changing. If the period decreases (i.e. gets shorter, faster) than the frequency increases. Or vice versa.
