No. Frequency is a quotient, or proportion (it is a division). Common frequencies are miles per hour (miles/hour), cycles per second (as in sound-- 440 sound waves per second is the standard pitch A). So frequency is the number of the 'thing' you are observing, divided by the amount of time you observed.

If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?

The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.


What is the wavelength of the waves produced in the spring?

The wavelength of waves produced in a spring depends on the frequency of the wave and the speed at which the wave travels through the spring. The wavelength is calculated as the speed of the wave divided by its frequency.


How do you measure wavelength from a diagram?

divide something by something


What is the wavelength of a wave produced by a microwave oven?

The wavelength of a wave produced by a microwave oven is around 12.2 centimeters, corresponding to a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz. This wavelength allows the microwave radiation to penetrate and heat food evenly.


Can you change the wavelength of waves in a ripple tank?

Yes, you can change the wavelength of waves in a ripple tank by adjusting the frequency of the wave generator. Increasing the frequency will decrease the wavelength, while decreasing the frequency will increase the wavelength of the waves produced in the tank.


What affect if any does increasing the speed of the plunger have on the wavelenght of the waves?

Increasing the speed of the plunger will result in shorter wavelength waves being produced. This is because the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to the speed of the wave: as the speed increases, the wavelength decreases.


What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by a 2.70 GHz microwave?

You need to divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (which in this case is 2.7 billion Hz). The answer will be in meters.


How do you work out the wavelength of something?

frequency divided by speed i think


What is a set amount of something that is being produced?

set amount of something being produced


A microwave oven operates at 2.40 What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?

The wavelength of the radiation produced by a microwave oven operating at 2.40 GHz is approximately 12.5 cm. This can be calculated using the speed of light equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency.


Have built or produced something?

Made means to have built of produced something. It is the past tense of make.


Is florescence produced due to electric current?

Fluorescence is not produced by electric current directly. Fluorescence occurs when a substance absorbs light at one wavelength and re-emits it at a longer wavelength. This process can be induced by various methods such as exposure to light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
