The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ...
the wave's speed. So if one of them doubles, the other one must drop by half.

Can waves with different wavelength be coherent?
No. In order to be coherent, the light waves have to be in phase and stay in phase, and the only way for that to happen is for them to have the same wavelength and frequency.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
Electromagnetic waves differ only in their what their energy and their frequency?
wavelength,frequency, and speed
How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increases?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
How does frequency apply to periodic waves?
Periodic waves are characterized by a frequency, a wavelength, and by their speed.
What is the wavelength of two waves when the first wave has twice the frequency of the second?
The first has half the wavelength of the second
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.
Can waves with different wavelength be coherent?
No. In order to be coherent, the light waves have to be in phase and stay in phase, and the only way for that to happen is for them to have the same wavelength and frequency.

If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?
The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
How would the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
How wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the Waves increases?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.

The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.

When working with waves frequency x equals speed?
When working with waves ... or even just talking about them ... (frequency) = (speed) divided by (wavelength) (wavelength) = (speed) divided by (frequency) (frequency) times (wavelength) = (speed)
