How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?
Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
What property of a wave increase as the wave energy increase?
An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.
If the wavelength of a given wave decreases you know that its frequency will stay the same true or false?
False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
What property of a wave increases as the waves energy inceases?
An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.

What property of a wave increase as the wave energy increase?
An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.
As the wavelength decreases what happens to wave diffraction?
As wavelength decreases the wave diffraction will decrease, so the curve formed will be less noticeable. The sharpness of the diffraction will decrease that you can see will lessen.
If the wavelength of a given wave decreases you know that its frequency will stay the same true or false?
False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.
What happens when you increase the speed of a wave what happens to the wavelength?
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
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.
What happens to the wavelength the if we increase the frequency of vibration?
Provided the speed of the wave remains constant, as we increase the frequency of wave then wavelength decreases. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
What property of a wave increases as the waves energy inceases?
An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.
As the speed and length of a wave decrease the wave?
An equation that relates three basic quantities for waves in general is:speed = wavelength x frequency In this case, if you increase the speed (without changing the wavelength), the frequency would have to increase; on the other hand, if you increase the wavelength (without changing the speed), the frequency would go decrease.
How the wavelength traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves 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.
