According to all the laws of optics, no, but there's more to it. If the mirror is of

relatively low quality, especially if the reflecting coating is on the back and the

light has to pass through the glass twice when it bounces, then the focal length

may be slightly different for different wavelengths. The result is that you see

thin borders of color around objects when you look at them in the mirror. This

is considered a cheapo mirror with a severe fault. It might be OK to shave with,

but it would never be used in an optical system like a telescope.

How speed of sound increases wave length?

The speed of sound depends on the medium the waves pass through, and is a fundamental property of the material. It itself cannot increase wave length as it is merely a property and not an active force that can modify anything.


How does the speed of wave energy propagation in water change with the length of the wavelength?

The speed of wave energy propagation in water increases as the length of the wavelength increases.


How the wavelength of waves traviling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?

Speed is (Length/Time). Wavelength is (Length), and Frequency is (1/Time).Speed = (Wavelength)*(Frequency). With a constant speed, Wavelength and Frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So if one increases, the other decreases.


Does the wavelength increase as the frequency of an energy wave increase?

No. the wave length decreases as the frequency of an energy wave increases and vise versa. We acyually are learning thatin my 8th grade science class.


When you increase sound what happens to wavelength?

When you increase sound, the wavelength of the sound decreases. This is because sound waves with higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths. So, as the sound becomes louder, the frequency increases and the wavelength gets shorter.


What is the Relation of dispersion and wave length?

dispersion increases and wavelength decreases


If a sound gets louder does the wavelength of the sound it produces increase?

No, the wavelength of a sound does not change when the intensity or loudness of the sound increases. The wavelength of a sound wave depends on the frequency of the sound, which is determined by the source of the sound.


How does the frequency of a water wave change as its wavelength changes?

With a water wave, an increase in the length of the wavelength will result in a decrease in the frequency of the wave. We could say that there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and the wavelength. As one increases, the other decreases, and as one decreases, the other increases.


What happens as the frequency of photons increases?

For electromagnetic radiation,c = speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s = frequency x wavelengthAs the frequency of light waves increase, the wavelength decreases. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light, c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength will decrease, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.


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


If a wave's wave length increases what happens to its frequency?

It goes down. Wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency


What happens to the wave length if the freqency of pulses is increased?

Wavelength shortens as frequendcy increases.
