What else can I help you with?
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.
The bending of a wave around a barrier is called?
It is called diffraction.
How does the frequency of a wave change as its wave length changes?
You can see how the frequency of a wave changes as its wavelength changes by using the formula Velocity= wavelength x frequencyIf for example we are talking about the speed of light (Which does change) and the wavelength is reduced, then the frequency has to increase in order to balance out to the speed of light.Another way to view it is like this:The frequency of a wave changes with the wavelength by what happens to the wavelength. For instance, if the wavelength is doubled, the frequency is halved, and vise versa.
How does energy associated with waves change as wavelength changes?
Using this equation will help you understand what is going on: E=hc/wavelength h and c are constants. As wavelength increases, energy decreases. This is why UV radiation (which has a very small wavelength) has more energy than visible radiation, and this is also why UV radiation causes damage to living things
When a sound wave moves past a point in air what happens to the density of air at this point?
The density of air increases and then decreases as the sound wave passes.
What happens when the frequency of a wave increases?
The wave's wavelength decreases correspondingly.
As the frequency of a wave increases what happens to the wavelength?
As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency decreases and the waveleNgth increases?
If the frequency decreases and the wavelength increases, the speed of the wave remains constant. This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium it's traveling through, not by its frequency or wavelength.
What happens to the wavelength when the frequency of a light wave increases?
When the frequency of a light wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave, meaning as one increases, the other decreases.
Is the amount of diffraction depends an the size of the obstacle and the wavelength of the wave?
Yes, the amount of diffraction that occurs depends on the size of the obstacle or opening and the wavelength of the wave. The smaller the obstacle or wavelength, the more significant the diffraction effects will be. This relationship is described by the principles of diffraction in wave theory.
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 happens to a wave if the wavelength changes?
If the wavelength of a wave changes, the frequency of the wave will also change because the speed of the wave remains constant in the same medium. This means that if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa, according to the equation: frequency = speed of the wave / wavelength.
What is theas the wavelength of a wave decreases what happens to ts frequency?
Frequency Increases
What are the conditions for the occurrence of diffraction?
Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle or aperture that is comparable in size to the wavelength of the wave. The diffraction effect is most pronounced when the size of the obstacle or aperture is on the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the wave.
What two things that can affect the amount of diffraction of a wave?
The amount of diffraction of a wave is affected by the wavelength of the wave and the size of the obstacle or opening it encounters. Waves with longer wavelengths exhibit more diffraction, and smaller obstacles or openings lead to more diffraction of the wave.
What happens to the wavelength the if we increase the frequency of vibration?
Provided the speed of the wave remains constant, as we increase the frequency of wave then wavelength decreases. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
If wavelength increases what happens to frequency and wave energy?
If wavelength increases, frequency decreases inversely. Wave energy remains the same since it is determined by amplitude and not by wavelength or frequency.
