When a wave move toward the receiver does it increase the wave frequency wave speed or both?

The speed of a radio wave is constant and is just under the speed of light at 300^6 metres per second whether the signal is travelling toward or away from the reciever.
What I think you are asking is about Doppler shift in which case a receiver travelling towards the emitter or visa versa would experience the compression of radio waves and therefore a frequency shift to a higher frequency and when travelling away the wave would be elongated which would result in a lower frequency signal.

How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
How do you reduce the speed of a 15 kW 3 phase motor without using variable speed control?
If the load is connected to the motor via belts, you can change the speed the load is turning by changing the pulley sizes. To get the load to slow down, increase the size of the pulley on the load; to get it to speed up, increase the size of the pulley on the motor. To reduce the speed of the motor itself, you'll have to alter the line frequency, which you can't do without a variable frequency drive attached to the motor.
How does the temperature affect the frequency of an organ pipe?
A change in temperature will result in a change in the speed of sound. The frequency of a flute organ pipe is proportional to the speed of sound. For example, an increase in temperature will cause an increase in the speed of sound, and hence the pitch of the pipe will go up. A change of about 4oC will cause a change in the pipe's sound frequency of about 1%. That compares with a change of 6% between adjacent notes on the keyboard. Hence such a change would be significant.The same effect occurs for the woodwind and brass instruments.
Does the speed of sound independent of frequency?
It is independent of frequency.
When a wave source moves toward a receiver does the receiver encounter increase in frequency wave speed or both?
Increase in frequency only.
How does speed affect the frequency of reflected waves?
The Doppler Effect describes a frequency shift in reflected waves in proportion to the relative speed between the receiver and the reflected object. For instance, in a radar speed trap, the frequency shift in reflected radio waves allows the unit to calculate the speed toward (higher frequency) or away from (lower frequency) the transmitter/receiver unit. When you drive past a steady noise source, such a bell or a horn, the sound has a higher frequency as you approach and a lower frequency as you depart.
What happens to the you increase the wavelength?
Remember that wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave.If you increase the wavelength, the frequency will decrease - since the speed of most waves is more or less independent of the frequency or wavelength.
How does increasing the wave speed affect the frequency?
Assuming a constant wavelength, then increasing the wave speed will increase the frequency.
What affect if any does increasing the speed of the plunger have on the frequency of the waves?
Increasing the speed of the plunger will increase the frequency of the waves.
How do you increase the frequency of a wave?
Either shorten the wavelength or increase it's speed.
How do you increase frequency of a wave?
Either shorten the wavelength or increase it's speed.
When you increase the tension on a piece of wire the speed of waves on it increase but the wavelength stays constant what happens to the frequency of the waves as the tension the wire is increased?
If the speed increased and the wavelngth stayed the same then the frequency would have to increase. Because Speed=Frequency*Wavelength Hope that helps
As the frequency of a wave of constant speed is increased does the wavelength increase or decrease?
frequency x wavelength = speedSo, if you increase frequency, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
How the wavelength traveling with the same speed would 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 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 the wavelengths of waves traveling with the same speed would 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.
