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 the wavelength and the frequency of radiant energy?
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
When you increase the tension on a piece of wire the speed of waves on it increase but the wavelength stays constant what happens to the frequency of the waves as the tension the wire is increased?
If the speed increased and the wavelngth stayed the same then the frequency would have to increase. Because Speed=Frequency*Wavelength Hope that helps
How can you determine the frequency of a light wave?
to find the frequency of a light wave you need to know its wavelength. The frequency is equal to the speed of light (3x10^8 m/s) divided by the wavelength in metres. Alternatively, if you were given the energy of each photon of light in joules you could just divide the energy by plancks constant (6.63x10^-34) to leave you with the frequency in Hz.
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".
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.
What Wave travels at a constant speed how does the frequency change if the wavelength is reduced by factor of 3?
A wave traveling at a constant speed will have its frequency remain the same regardless of the change in wavelength. The wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely proportional, meaning if the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3, the frequency would increase by a factor of 3 to maintain a constant 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.
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
Why does wavelength change during refraction?
Wavelength changes during refraction because the speed of light changes when it passes through different mediums, causing the frequency to remain constant. According to the equation c = fλ (where c is the speed of light, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength), when the speed of light changes, the wavelength must also change to keep the frequency constant.
What will be change in a wavelength and frequency when wave refracted?
When a wave refracts as it moves from one medium to another, its wavelength typically changes while its frequency remains constant. The change in wavelength is due to the change in speed of the wave in the new medium, as dictated by Snell's Law. The frequency remains constant because it is a characteristic of the source of the wave and does not change as the wave passes through different mediums.
Do speed and wavelength and frequency change causes in electromagnetic waves?
No, in a vacuum, the speed of electromagnetic waves (such as light) is constant. However, the wavelength and frequency of the waves are inversely proportional to each other - as one increases, the other decreases. This relationship allows for the wave speed to remain constant as the wavelength and frequency change.
How the wavelengths of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
If we change the wavelength of a wave and make it shorter but with the same amplitude what would increase?
If you shorten the wavelength of a wave while keeping the amplitude constant, the frequency of the wave will increase. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave (frequency = speed of wave / wavelength).
How does changing the frequency of the wave affect wavelength?
The wavelength changes inversely with the frequency.
How does the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed change is the frequency of the waves increase?
As frequency increases, the wavelength decreases for waves traveling at the same speed. This relationship is defined by the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease to maintain a constant speed.
What is the relationship between the wavelength, frequency, and the speed of light in different media?
The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and the speed of light in different media is described by the equation: speed of light wavelength x frequency. In different media, the speed of light remains constant, but the wavelength and frequency may change. When light travels through different media, such as air, water, or glass, its wavelength and frequency can be altered, while the speed of light remains constant.
