If a sound wave speeds up and its frequency does not change what happens to the wavelength?
With the same speed -Apex (1.2.4)
What else can I help you with?
How many times greater is the speed of infrared light than the speed of violet light in vacuum wavelength of the violet light is around 400nm and wavelength of infrared is 800nm?
It isn't. The velocity of both is the same at about 2.998x108m/s. A change in wavelength is associated with a change in frequency not velocity. The frequency of Ultraviolet light is about 750 PHz (Peta Hertz) while that of infrared half that at 375PHz.
What is the difference among radio waves microwaves and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.?
Radio waves, microwaves, and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum differ in their frequency and wavelength. Radio waves have the lowest frequency and longest wavelength, while microwaves have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength. Other parts of the spectrum, such as infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, have progressively higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. Each part of the spectrum interacts with matter in unique ways, influencing their applications in technology and communication.
Does the speed of light depend on wavelength?
No, the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and does not depend on wavelength. However, light can travel at different speeds in different mediums, such as air or water, due to interactions with the medium.
How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?
Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.
What are the different speeds of the electromagnetic spectrum?
In terms of speed, every part of the electromagnetic spectrum, (radio waves, infra-red, ultraviolet), all travel at the same speed in a vacuum, the speed of light, which is 300,000,000 m/s approx. In terms of energy, the low frequency and long wavelength end of the spectrum, such as radio, have a low energy as opposed to the high frequency and short wavelength end, such as gamma rays.
Cant the frequency of 2 waves with different wave lengths be equal?
Only if their speeds are different.(Wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) = speed of the waveIf the speeds are the same, then different wavelength means different frequency.
What is the frequency of a wave if its wavelength is 5 m?
That depends, what wave you are talking about. The general relationship is: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, the speed is about 300,000,000 meters/second. Other waves, however, can have quite different speeds.
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
Is a string vibrating at the fundamental frequency the length of half the wavelength?
This question can't be answered as asked. A string vibrating at its fundamental frequency has nothing to do with the speed of the produced sound through air, or any other medium. Different mediums transmit sound at different speeds. The formula for wavelength is L = S/F, were L is the wavelength, S is the speed through the medium and F is the frequency. Therefore, the wavelength depends on the speed of sound through the medium and directly proportional to the speed and inversely proportional to the frequency.
Why do waves disperse?
It is mainly due to the different wavelength of colours. The refractive index of the material changes according to the change in wavelength. So the deviations will be different for different colours. Hence dispersion.
What is the difference among radio waves and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Their wavelength (or frequency), the energy carried by each photon, and the names we give them. Their speeds are all the same.
3 A wave with which of the following frequencies would have the shortest wavelength?
So far in the electromagnetic spectrum we have gamma radiations having the shortest wavelength. In case of de Broglie's waves the matter waves of massive objects such as an iron ball moving at a faster rate would have the shortest wavelength which could not be measured even. So we declare that only light particles such as electron, proton, neutron or alpha particle, deutron moving at higher speeds would act as a wave with shortest wavelength.
What is the distance traveled each second by a wave?
"1 Hz" means that 1 complete wave passes the place where you're sitting each second. So regardless of what kind of wave it is or what its speed may be, if its frequency is 1 Hz, then it takes 1 second to travel 1 wavelength.
What is the difference among radio waves microwaves and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Their wavelength (or frequency), the energy carried by each photon, and the names we give them. Their speeds are all the same.
What happens to the speed of a wave as the wave goes from one medium to another?
The speed of a wave may change when it goes from one medium to another, depending on the difference in the properties of the two mediums. This change in speed is due to a change in the wave's frequency or wavelength as it moves between mediums with different densities or elasticities.
