What happens to the amount of energy transferred through the slinky as the frequency incresases?

As the frequency increases, the amount of energy transferred through the slinky also increases. This is because higher frequencies correspond to higher energy levels per wave cycle, resulting in more energy being transferred through the slinky as the frequency goes up.


What happens to signal's wavelength as its frequency increases?

As the frequency of a signal increases, its wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of propagation of the signal remains constant in a given medium, so as the frequency increases (more cycles per second), each cycle has less distance to cover, resulting in a shorter wavelength.


What happens when wavelength increases?

When the wavelength of a wave increases, its frequency decreases. This means that the wave takes longer to complete one full cycle. In terms of light, longer wavelengths correspond to colors like red, while shorter wavelengths correspond to colors like blue.


What is the frequency of a wave whose wavelength is 5 cycle and whose frequency is 5Hz?

The answer is in the question! 5 Hz Also, a wavelength cannot be 5 cycles - wrong units.


What decreases if frequency increases?

As frequency increases, the wavelength decreases and the energy of each photon (in the case of light) increases. Similarly, the period (time taken for one cycle) decreases as frequency increases.


What is the speed of a wave whose wavelength is 5 cycle and whose frequency is 5Hz?

I've got no idea what a "5 cycle wavelength" is. However, I would just apply this formula: v = fλ, where v is the velocity (speed in m/s) of the wave, f is the frequency (in hertz), and λ is the wavelength (in m).


What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?

Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".


What happens if frequency increases?

If frequency increases, the number of occurrences of a cycle within a unit of time increases. This means that the signal changes more rapidly and the wavelength decreases. Higher frequency signals typically have higher energy and can carry more information, such as in the case of radio waves or light.


What would happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is halved?

If the frequency of a wave is halved, the wavelength would double. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, so by halving the frequency (which is the number of wave cycles per unit time), each wave cycle now covers a longer distance, resulting in a longer wavelength.


If the wavelength of light increases the frequency?

As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases. A wavelength is the distance from, say, a crest to a crest, or perhaps a trough to a trough. Frequency is essentially how many waves or how many cycles of a wave there are per unit of time, and we usually apply the term cycles per second or Hertz (which means cycles per second) to it.Wavelength is the physical distance the wave will travel as a single cycle of that wave occurs. And wavelength is a function of both frequency and of the speed of propagation of that wave. In any case, a longer wavelength is associated with a lower frequency. Increasing (lengthening) the wavelength decreases the frequency.


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.


What is the term for the number of times a light wave travels a complete cycle in one second?

The term is frequency. It is measured in hertz (Hz), where one hertz equals one cycle per second.
