No. The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) of an electromagnetic wave is

always the same number ... the speed of the wave. So if one of those quantities

increases, then the other one must decrease by the same factor, in order for the

product to remain constant.

What happens to frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decreased and when the wavelength is increased?

When wavelength decreases, frequency increases, and when wavelength increases, frequency decreases. The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the speed of the wave. So when one of them changes, the other one must change in the opposite direction in order for their product to remain unchanged.


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.


What happens to an electromagnetic wave's frequency as it's wavelength decreases?

The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) of any wave phenomenon is alwaysthe same number ... the speed of the wave. So if wavelength changes, thenfrequency must change by exactly the same factor in the opposite direction,in order for their product to remain constant.


What happens to an electromagnetic wave when the frequency is doubled?

When the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is doubled, its energy and wavelength remain the same but its photon energy increases. This higher frequency wave will have shorter oscillation periods and carry more energy per photon compared to the original wave.


What happens to the speed of a wave on a string when the frequency is doubled?

I believe that the speed will remain constant, and the new wavelength will be half of the original wavelength. Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength). This depends on the method used to increase the frequency. If the tension on the string is increased while maintaining the same length (like tuning up a guitar string), then the speed will increase, rather than the wavelength.


What happens to an electromagnetic wave when frequency is doubled?

The speed halves.


How does changing the frequency of the wave affect wavelength?

The wavelength changes inversely with the frequency.


What will happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is left unchanged?

If the frequency of a wave is left unchanged, the wavelength will also remain constant. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, so they always adjust together to maintain the speed of the wave.


If the velocity and frequency of the wave are both reduced to one half the wavelength is?

If the velocity and frequency of the wave are both reduced to one half, the wavelength of the wave remains unchanged. The wavelength of a wave is determined by the velocity and frequency, so if both are reduced by the same factor, the wavelength will remain constant.


Does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases?

Because the product of (frequency times wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if one of them changes, the other one has to change in the opposite direction, in order for the product to remain the same number.


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.


How does the energy associated with waves change wavelength changes?

a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy
