The product of wavelength and frequency is equal to the propagation speed of the wave. For light waves, this is the speed of light.
cw: Wavelength = W meters, Frequency = F per meter
W meter X F per meter = dimensionless quantity.
The speed of light, c, is typically measured in units of m/s or 3(10^8) m/s.
OK, some use a dimensionless speed of light, where c=1. But I don't see how that follows from the general question.

How is frequency wavelength and wave speed related?
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always equal to the wave's speed.
Is frequency directly inversely equal or have no bearing on wavelength?
Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. Their product is always the speed of the wave;it doesn't change, regardless of the frequency/wavelength.
The speed of an electromagnetic wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its?
frequency
What would the result be if the frequency of a wave increases and the velocity stays the same?
The velocity of the wave is equal to the product of the frequency and the wavelength. Therefore, for constant wavelength, the wavelength will decrease. Furthermore, for an electromagnetic wave, the energy of the wave E = hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency, the energy of the wave decreases as frequency decreases (and the velocity within a vacuum is always constant and equal to c).
What happens to an electromagnetic wave's frequency as it's wavelength decreases?
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) of any wave phenomenon is alwaysthe same number ... the speed of the wave. So if wavelength changes, thenfrequency must change by exactly the same factor in the opposite direction,in order for their product to remain constant.

How is the wavelength related to frequency for waves moving at a constant speed?
Whatever the wavelength and frequency happen to be, their product is always equal to the speed.
How is wavelength related to frequency for a wave traveling at a constant speed?
The product of its wavelength multiplied by its frequency is always equal to its speed. I think that's true even if the speed is not constant.
Wave speed is equal to multipied by frequency?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength.
What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is equal to the speed of the wave.
The speed of an electromagnetic wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its?
frequency
Does A sound wave has a speed which is mathematically related to the frequency and the wavelength of the wave?
Yes - The speed is equal to the product of the frequency and wavelength,but you have to be careful how you think about that. The speed doesn't dependon the frequency or wavelength.
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of MM and a frequency of Hz?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its frequency. (If you want to have the speed in meters/second, convert the wavelength to meters first.)

The velocity of the wave is equal to the product of the frequency and the wavelength. Therefore, for constant wavelength, the wavelength will decrease. Furthermore, for an electromagnetic wave, the energy of the wave E = hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency, the energy of the wave decreases as frequency decreases (and the velocity within a vacuum is always constant and equal to c).
What does waveleghnt times frequeny always equal?
(wavelength) x (frequency) = wave speed
How do you convert heartz to meter?
The frequency of a radio wave in Hertz (cycles per second) multiplied by the wavelength of the radio signal (in meters) is always equal to the speed of light, which is equal to The speed of light has the symbol "c". So Frequency/c = wavelength, and wavelength/c = frequency. == ==
