What is the horizontal distance between crests of waves?
The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive corresponding points on a wave.Distance between two crests is the wavelength of a wave.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
What is the definition of wavelength in units?
the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is the waves?
If it's crest to crest and trough to trough then it's the wavelength.
What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
What is the equivalent wavelength of 1000 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.
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.
We have to do to the wave height wavelength and wave period to make the most bumpy waves?
To create the bumpiest waves, you would want a combination of high wave height, short wavelength, and short wave period. High wave height will produce bigger peaks and troughs, while a short wavelength will create more frequent crests and troughs. A short wave period will make these crests and troughs arrive more rapidly, enhancing the bumpiness of the waves.
A wave with a low frequency does it have a short wavelength?
The product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number ... the speedof the wave. So the lower frequencies must have longer wavelengths.
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed is dependent on both wavelength and period. The relationship is described by the formula: wave speed = wavelength / period. As wavelength increases, wave speed also increases. Conversely, as period increases, wave speed decreases.
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.
If the frequency of a vibrating object decreases how does the wavelength of the resulting wave change?
If the frequency of a vibrating object decreases, the wavelength of the resulting wave also decreases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional according to the wave equation: wavelength = speed of wave / frequency. So, as frequency decreases, the wavelength will also decrease to maintain a constant speed of the wave.
How does the wave length of a wave changes if the wave slows down and its frequency does not change?
If the wave slows down but its frequency remains the same, the wavelength of the wave will also decrease. This is because the speed of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so if the speed decreases, the wavelength must also decrease.
What is the relationship between wavespeed wavelength and frequency?
The wave speed is directly proportional to both the wavelength and frequency of a wave. This relationship is described by the equation speed = frequency × wavelength. In other words, as the frequency or wavelength of a wave increases, the wave speed will also increase.
Why does a wave with short wavelenth have a high frequency?
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 happens if the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is too long or too short?
If the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is too long, it may not interact efficiently with objects or materials that are small compared to its wavelength. If the wavelength is too short, it may not penetrate materials or be easily absorbed by certain substances. This can affect the transmission and reception of the wave in different mediums.
