If the frequency is doubled then the wave length and period will be halved because in the same time that the original wave occurred, you will now see 2 waves. .here is NO change in its its speed.

∙ 14y agoThe wavelength is halved when a wave frequency doubles, and vice-versa. Just think of it as more waves fitting into less time and so needing to be smaller.

∙ 13y agospeed of wave = frequency * wavelength
if frequency is doubled wavelength must be halved
8=4*2
8=8*1

What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the wave is doubled?
the wavelength of the wave get smaller, decreases because the frequency is doubled, increasing..vise versa.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Nothing happens
If the frequency of a wave traveling in a rope is doubled what will happen to the speed of the wave?
Assuming that the wavelength remains constant, the velocity of the rope will also double if the frequency is doubled. This can be seen in the word equation below: speed = frequency x wavelength If we assume that wavelength is a constant...let wavelength = 1 speed = frequency therefore... 2 x frequency = 2 x speed
What happens when wavelength increases?
When wavelength increases, frequency decreases.
If frequency is tripled what happens to wavelength?
If frequency is multiplied by three, wavelength is divided by three. Higher frequency, shorter wavelength.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave on a string when the frequency is doubled?
The wavelength is halved.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the wave is doubled?
the wavelength of the wave get smaller, decreases because the frequency is doubled, increasing..vise versa.
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happens to the wavelength of that wave?
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled?
If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Wavelength is halved.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave wen the frequency of the wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
speed = freq. X wavelength Hence frequency and wavelength are inversely related when the speed is same. So if the frequency is doubled, then wavelength becomes half of the initial length.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the waves doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Nothing happens
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Nothing happens
What happens to the wavelenght of a wave when the frequencey of the wave doubled but speed stays same?
Speed = wavelength x frequency, so wavelength = speed / frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Double the frequency means half the wavelength.
What happens to frequency of a wave if speed is doubled?
The frequency also doubles of the wave length stays the same. Remember that Velocity = (the wavelength) x (the frequency)
If the frequency is doubled then for waves what would be the wavelength and vlocity?
Frequency = Velocity divided by wavelength. So if frequency is doubled that means velocity is doubled but the wavelength is halved. You can see this by keeping wavelength a constant : If Frequency =1 and Wavelength= 1 1= Velocity/1 Velocity=1 If Frequency =2 and Wavelength= 1 2= Velocity/1 Velocity =2 OR keeping Velocity constant: If Frequency =1 and Velocity= 1 1= 1/Wavelength Wavelength =1 If Frequency =2 and Velocity= 1 2= 1/Wavelength Wavelength=1/2
If a wave is moving at a constant speed and the wavelength is doubled what will happen to the frequency?
IF a wave moving at a constant speed were to have it's wavelength doubled (Wavelength x 2), then the frequency of the wave would be half of what it originally was (Frequency / 2).
