When talking about waves as frequency increases wavelength do what?
Wavelength and frequency are reciprocals: as one goes up the other goes down.
What happens to the frequency as waves slows down?
The frequency of a wave is detemined by the source, and it stays constant, so if the wave enters a medium where the speed is slower, the wavelength becomes shorter.
If Two waves are traveling in the same medium with a speed of 340ms What is the difference in frequency of the waves if the one has a wavelength fo 5m and the other has a wavelength of 0.2m?
For a wavelengt lambda in air with the speed of sound of c = 340 meters per second the frequency f: f = c / lambda. A wavelength of 5 meters equals a frequency of 68 Hz. A wavelength of 0.2 meters equals a frequency of 1700 Hz. There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic waves or sound waves in air".
If a wave's wave length increases what happens to its frequency?
It goes down. Wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency
What ind of waves does a toaster produces?
A toaster produces waves of electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength of these waves is similar to the wavelength of red light, hence why the wires in toasters glow red. As we heat up the wire, electrons are exited to a higher energy level, when they come back down an energy level, they produce a quanta of energy, a photon. ie a particle of light :)
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that slows down while retaining its original frequency?
As the basic formula of all types of waves is (Velocity of a wave=the product of the wavelength of it and its frequency). In this case, frequency of a certain wave is constant and the velocity is decreasing. And as the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength, the wavelength of the wave shortens as a result.

When you push down on a string to make it shorter what happens to the wavelength?
The wavelength gets shorter.
What happens to the frequency as waves slows down?
The frequency of a wave is detemined by the source, and it stays constant, so if the wave enters a medium where the speed is slower, the wavelength becomes shorter.
What happens to the frequency when the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave goes up?
As wavelength goes up, the frequency comes down.
What happens to sediment when waves slow down?
deposition
What happens to the frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decrased and the wavelength is increased?
When the wavelength (λ) increases, the frequency (v) decreases. When the λ goes down, the v goes up.
If Two waves are traveling in the same medium with a speed of 340ms What is the difference in frequency of the waves if the one has a wavelength fo 5m and the other has a wavelength of 0.2m?

What is the wavelength of radiation at a frequency of 543.3Hz?
For a frequency f in air with the speed of sound of c = 343 meters per second the wavelength lambda = c / f. A frequency of 543.3 Hz meters equals a wavelength of 0.6313 meters. There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic waves or sound waves in air".
What happens if the frequenCy of wave and its length increase?
That is impossible. Speed of wave c = frequency f times wavelength λ. To have a constant speed, the frequency goes up and the wavelength goes down or the frequency goes down and the wavelength goes up.
What happens to waves as they slow down and approach shore?
it keeps on slowing down and hitsthe shore.
What type of frequency and wavelength does radio waves have?
One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiation withfrequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, so there'sno lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.
