Are the wavelengths of high frequency sounds short or long?

Shorter the wavelength higher the frequency so naturally high frequency soundwaves are short


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 does the frequency of radiant energy relate to the absolute temperature of the radiating source?

A low temp source emits low-frequency, long wavelength waves. A medium temp source emits medium frequency, medium wavelength waves. A high temp source emits high frequency, short wavelength waves.


Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?

No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.


Which wavelength carries more energy short or long?

Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)


The speed of what tells whether a sound will be a high or low pitch?

The speed of the vibration. High speed vibration = high frequency = short wavelength = high pitch. Low speed vibration = low frequency = long waves = low pitch.


Ultraviolet rays are potentially harmful to us due to their intensity. amplitude. high frequency or long wavelength?

High Frequency.


Why does a high pitch noise have a greater frequency?

because the vibration is so fast your ears hurt low pitched sounds vibrate slowly and doesn't hurt


The wavelength of light is very long and the frequency is very short true or false?

false


Light ray is straight line what is its frequency?

A light ray is a straight line with speed c=fw. The speed c is a constant and the product of the wavelength, w and the frequency f. The frequency is f=c/w, inverse to the wavelength. If the wavelength is long the frequency is low; if the wavelength is small the frequency is high.


What is the measurement of low or high sound called?

It may be called the pitch, the frequency, or the wavelength.A low-pitched sound has a low frequency and a long wavelength.A high-pitched sound has a high frequency and a short wavelength.


What does it mean for something to have wavelike properties?

Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. The frequency is defined as the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass a given space. Since all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, short-wavelength radiation must have a high frequency and long-wavelength radiation must have a low frequency.
