You can measure a wave either by the physical distance between two similar points (wave length), or by how many similar points pass, in the period of one second. (cycles per second or Hertz)
The relationship between them depends on the speed on the wave through the medium in which they exist.
So for radio waves, they travel at the speed of light which is 300,000,000 metres per second.
To covert from one to the other simply divide 300,000,000 by the known number to give the vaue of the unknown.
eg. 200khz = 200,000 cycles per second. Divide 300,000,000 by 200,000
= 1500
which is in metres.
BBC radio 4 is on 200khz longwave which equals 1500metres.

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.
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.
What is the relationship between frequency speed and wavelength?
Speed of sound c is frequncy f times wavelength lambda. c = f times lambda Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion: frequency f to wavelength lambda and wavelength to frequency".
A wave with a short wavelength will also have a?
High frequency.
The wave question says that a wave speed is equal to its wavelength times its?
Frequency.
How is frequency related to wavelength for a given wave?
(frequency) multiplied by (wavelength) = (speed of the wave)
Is speed wavelength and frequency of a wave related by a scientific theory?
No. They're related by the definitions of the wave's speed, wavelength, and frequency.
How are wave'sspeed and wavelength and frequency related?
(Wavelength) x (Frequency) = (the Wave's Speed).
How is a wave's speed related to its frequency and wavelength?
speed = frequency x wavelength
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
How are wave length and wave frequency are related?
velocity = frequency x wavelength
How is frequency wavelength and wave speed related?
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always equal to the wave's speed.
How are amplitude wavelength and frequency related?
The wavelength and frequency of any wave are inversely proportional. Neither of them is related to the wave's amplitude in any way.
How are the frequency and the wavelength of a wave traveling at a constant speed related?
frequency = speed of wave / wavelength so if speed is constant then frequency varies inversely with wavelength
How are wavelength frequency and energy are related?
Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
How is the frequency of a wave related toits wave length?
Frequency of the a wave equals its velocity divided by its wavelength.
