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 three quantities are used to describe a wave?

Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)


Describe how the frequency of a wave changes as the wavelength changes?

it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also increases


What are some ways to describe a wave?

H = cos (wt - kz) describes a wave travelling in the z-direction with angular frequency w and propagation constant k. The frequency is w / 2pi and the speed of the wave is w/k. That is a mathematical way to describe a wave.


Describe How is energy related to amplitude and frequency?

they our related by there wave links


Can you describe the parts of a sound wave?

Crest and Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency


Describe how the wavelengths of a wave changes if the wave slows down and its frequency doesn't change?

the frequancy of a wave is always equal to the rate of vibration of the source that creates it.


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


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
