Because it only resembles the wavelength, the speed is how fast the wave travels. two waves of the same size can travel at the same speed

Wave speed is affected by a combination of wavelength and frequency, not just one alone.

Does wave length affect wave speed?

No....


What is the relation between speed frequency and wave length?

wave length and frequency are the product of the wave speed, so the wave speed is a constant variable and the other two are inversely proportional the wave length increases, as the frequency decreases


A speed and length of a wave decrease the wave does what?

If the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency of the wave will also decrease. This means the wave will have a lower pitch or tone.


How does increasing the wave speed affect the frequencey?

Increasing the wave speed will not affect the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is determined by the source of the wave and will remain constant regardless of the wave speed.


As the speed and length of wave decrease what happens to the wave?

As the speed and length of a wave decreases, the frequency of the wave remains constant. This means that the wave will experience a decrease in wavelength, which is inversely proportional to the decrease in speed. The energy of the wave will also decrease.


What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?

velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.


As the speed and length of a wave decrease what happens to the wave?

As the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency remains the same while the wavelength decreases. This means that the wave's energy decreases as well.


What happens to the wave length when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?

The wave length would necessarily be one half. The speed would remain the same independent of the frequency.


Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?

No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the wave.


How does changing the frequency affect the wave speed?

The speed of a wave doesn't depend on its frequency.


How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?

wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency


How does the speed of wave energy propagation in water change with the length of the wavelength?

The speed of wave energy propagation in water increases as the length of the wavelength increases.
