What is the equation for wavelength?
The formula for wavelength λ = v/f where v is the velocity f is the frequency of the wave and λ (lambda) is the symbol for wavelength Wavelength formulaC=λf or λ=C/f
At what frequencies the loss highest dielectric is?
As the frequency increases the loss through heat also increases. At relaxation frequency while the dipoles will be just able to align themselves maximum loss is seen. At frequncy above relaxation frequency the dipoles will no longer able to keep up change with applied field. They become frozen.
Explain how a beam of light passing through a diffuse cloud may give rise to both absorption and emission spectra?
When a light passes through a diffuse cloud, part of the light will be reflected, part will be absorbed, and the rest will pass through depending on the density of the cloud and the energy of the light.The light's energy can be expressed by: E = h(Planck's constant)*nu(frequency)
What is the passing of minerals down through soil layers?

When there are more waves passing through the reference point in a period of time what will happens to the wavelength of the waves?
That means that the frequency increases. In that case, and assuming the speed of the wave doesn't change, the wavelength gets shorter. The general rule is: frequency x wavelength = speed (of the wave)
When there are more more waves passing through the reference point in a period what happens to the wavelength of the wave?
With the wave speed is constant, and the number of cycles which pass a reference point increases, the frequency must increase. With higher frequency and constant speed, the wavelength decreases.
Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same. What will the result be when this happens?
Assuming an electromechanical wave not much. The speed of the wave depends on the medium that the wave is passing through. In a vacuum it is the speed of light, through something else a lesser speed. The wavelength stays the same and the frequency stays the same.
What happens to the period of a wave when the frequency decreases?
The period and frequency of a wave are inversely related, i.e. the period is the time it takes for wave to go through a cycle, and the frequency is the number of cycles in a certain time period. For example, a wave with a period of 0.5 seconds would have a frequency of 2 per second. Since these properties are the inverse of each other, than they will be opposite when changing. If the period decreases (i.e. gets shorter, faster) than the frequency increases. Or vice versa.
When there are more wave passing through the reference point in a period of timewhich wave characteristics also increase?
The frequency increases.
When there are more waves passing through the reference point in a period of timewhich wave characteristic also increase?
The frequency increases.
Is Colour related to frequency or wavelength in passing through a medium?
Both, because frequency and wavelength are locked together. If you know one, then you know the other. Knowing both doesn't give you any more information than knowing only one. In that respect, they're interchangeable.
How does increasing the wavelength affect the frequency?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency is changed by some percentage, the wavelength changes by the same percentage in the other direction, in order to keep their product the same as it was.
Is the passing of a wave through an object?
Frequency
What is meant by vacuum wavelength?
Vacuum wavelength is the wavelength that is measured if the wave is passing through a vacuum. To get the wavelength in a medium you need to know the refractive index.
The speed of sound in water is 1430 ms Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
Formula is velocity=frequency X wavelength so Wavelength = 5m
What happens to the wave when you increase the wavelength?
More energy would be transferred in the wave, so a sound wave would get louder and a light wave would get brighter. The wavespeed, frequency, and wavelength of the wave will remain the same.
