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

What is the equation for calculating wave speed?

wave speed= frequency/wavelenth


A wave with a short wavelength will also have a?

High frequency.


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.


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.


What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelenth of 4 meters and a speed of 40 ms?

The frequency of the wave can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed / wavelength. Plugging in the values, the frequency would be 40 m/s / 4 m = 10 Hz.


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.


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.


The what of a wave can be calculated by multiplying frequency times wavelength?

v = frequency x wavelength v is the velocity of the wavelength


How wavelenth of waves traveling with speed would change if the frecuency of the weaves icreased?

Velocity of wave = Frequency X Wavelength So if Velocity of the wave is kept constant, then Frequency of the wave is inversely proportional to it's wavelength i.e increase in frequency means decreases in Wavelength.


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.


True or false The Frequency of light is very fast and the wavelength is very short?

True. The frequency of light is very fast as it is a wave oscillating at a high rate. This high frequency corresponds to a short wavelength, which is the distance between two consecutive peaks of the wave.
