The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the

speed of the wave. So if the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease, to

keep the product constant.

Is it possible to draw a high frequency wave with long wavelength?

It depends on what you consider high frequency and long wavelength. However, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa. In fact, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.


How would you describe the wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency?

The wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency would be short.


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.


Does a high frequency wave have a short wave length?

Yes, high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely related in a wave, meaning that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.


A wave with a short wavelength will also have a?

High frequency.


Why does a wave with short wavelenth have a high frequency?

Wave velocity in general = frequency x wavelength As the velocity of the wave remains constant then frequency and wavelength are inversely related So as the wavelength becomes shorter then frequency becomes larger or higher


When the frequency in AC circuit is high the wave length is?

When the frequency in an AC circuit is high, the wavelength is shorter. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in electromagnetic waves. As frequency increases, the wavelength decreases.


If a wave has a low frequency does it have a short wavelength?

The product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number ... the speedof the wave. So the lower frequencies must have longer wavelengths.


When a wave has high frequency is the wavelength short or long?

When a wave has high frequency, the wavelength is short. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in waves. A higher frequency means more waves pass a given point in a given time, resulting in shorter wavelengths.


How do you calculate a wave's frequency?

You can calculate a wave's frequency by dividing the speed of the wave by its wavelength. The formula is: frequency = speed of wave / wavelength.


How does frequencey relate to wavelength?

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related. This means that as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength.


Does a high- frequency wave have short wavelength?

Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.
