The question completely dissolves into nothingness when we recall that the

frequency and wavelength of a wave are inextricably bound to each other.

They don't change independently, and if you know one, then you know the

other. So the "amount of bending" compared to frequency, and the "amount

of bending" compared to wavelength, are necessarily identical.

When light passes through a prism infer how the amount of bending of a light wave depends on the frequency of the light wave. how does the amount of bending depend on the wavelength of the light wave?

The amount of bending certainly CHANGES depending on the frequency, but there is no simple relationship between frequency (or wavelength) on the one hand, and the index of refraction (and therefore the amount of bending) on the other. If by "infer" you mean to calculate this depending on the properties of the material, I don't think there is an obvious way to do this.


Is there any relationship between sound frequency and sound absorption?

Yes - the amount of absorption can depend on the frequency.


How does the amount of diffraction depend on the wavelength?

The greater the wavelength, the higher the bending will be. Diffraction can be described best through sound, you can hear a loud stereo in different rooms.


What does Hotbird network search frequency depend on?

The Hotbird network search frequency will depend on where you live and how far you are from a tower.


What is the standard frequency and on which factors does it depend on?

standard frequency in India is 50Hz


Why the speed of sound through a medium depend on frequency?

The speed of a wave does NOT depend on its frequency. If it did you would not be able to enjoy an open air concert since the bass sounds would reach you at a different time from the trebles so that the music would be all out of synch.


What does a pitch of sound depend on?

Frequency


Does the pitch of sound depend on the frequency of the sound waves that produce it?

yes, the pitch of sound does, in fact, depend on the frequency of the sound wave.


Does the frequency or wavelength of the wave affect its speed?

The speed of a wave depends only on the mechanical or electrical characteristics of the medium or environment through which the wave propagates. It doesn't depend on the wave's frequency or wavelength.


The amount of water that flows through a pipe does not depend on?

what type of material the pipe is made out of.


What happens to the resistance when the frequency is doubled?

Impedance of a coil or a capacitor does depend on the excitation frequency,but resistance has no relationship to frequency.


Does frequency affect wave speed?

The speed of a wave doesn't depend on its frequency.REASON:According to the formulaV=frequency * Lambdaso,V/ Lambda= frequencyHere,Frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. so, If we increase the value of frequency then by same amount frequency will decrease and will cancel out the effect of each other the "V" will remain constant.
