If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?
speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength
How does frequency of a wave compare with the frequency of the source?
The frequency of a radio wave compares to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it because the frequency of a radio wave is proportional to the frequency of the vibrating electrons that make it.
The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?
This is known as the frequency of the wave.
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?
velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.
What is the quantitative relationship between frequency and wavelength?
speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelengthspeed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength

What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
Formula for frequency of a wave?
frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength) frequency = 1/(period)
How does the the frequency of a reflected wave compared to the frequency of a incoming wave?
It is double of the incoming wave.
What is determine by wave frequency?
The wave length w=v/frequency.
Is ultrasonic wave radio frequency?
ultrasonic wave is sound frequency
Can measuring a crest tell you that a wave has high frequency?
when a wave has a higher frequency, its waves are shorter. when a wave has a lower frequency, its waves are longer.
