You can see how the frequency of a wave changes as its wavelength changes by using the formula Velocity= wavelength x frequency
If 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 else can I help you with?
The time it takes two successive crests of an ocean wave to pass a given point is called a?
A wave length.
What is the variable for wavelength?
Wave length can be altered by changing frequency or Energy associated with it
What properties of a light wave determine its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
Properties of Waves?
The main characteristics of waves are: 1. Amplitude or height of the wave. 2. Wavelength, or the distance between crests. 3. Period or the length of time for a wave to pass a point. 4. Frequency or the number of complete waves passing a point. 5. Speed or the horizontal speed of the wave as it grows.
When you changethe wavelength do you change the frequency?
No, changing the wavelength of a wave does not change its frequency. The frequency of a wave is determined by the source of the wave and remains constant regardless of changes in wavelength.
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.
Can you change frequency and wave length at same time?
You always do. Whenever you change one, the other one automatically changes in the opposite direction, so that their product remains constant. (Their product is the wave's speed.)
If the frequency of a water wave changes what must also change?
The wavelength also changes.The product [ (frequency) times (wavelength) ] is the speed of a wave, which is constant.So in order for frequency to change, wavelength must change in the opposite direction, tokeep their product constant.
Describe how the frequency of a wave changes as the wavelength changes?
it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also increases
How does the frequency change between different mediums?
The frequency of a wave changes when it moves from one medium to another. In general, the frequency remains the same, but the speed of the wave changes, which affects its wavelength. This is known as the principle of wave speed.
What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?
velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.
What properity o a wave changes to create the Doppler effect?
The frequency of the wave changes to create the Doppler effect. As the source of the wave (like a moving car) moves relative to the observer, the frequency of the wave appears to change to the observer due to the compression or stretching of the wave.
What is the relationship between length and wave frequency?
Frequency is inversely proportional to the wave length, thus saying the shorter the wave length the higher the frequency and vice versa.The frequency is the number of waves within a time period. As the frequency within that time period increases, the number of waves increases, therefore the width of each wave (wavelength) within that time period has to decrease. Therefore:As the wave length increases, the frequency decreasesAs the wave length decreases, the frequency increases
Which characteristic of a wave changes as the wave travels across a boundary between two different media?
The essential characteristic that changes is the speed of the wave. The wavelength also changes. Amplitude and polarization can change. What does not change is the frequency.
What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
The velocity of a periodic wave is determined by the medium through which it travels and the frequency of the wave. Changes in the medium's properties (such as density or elasticity) can alter the wave velocity. Additionally, changes in the frequency of the wave can affect its velocity according to the wave equation.
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.
