The product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number ... the speed

of the wave. So the lower frequencies must have longer wavelengths.

If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?

The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.


How would you describe the wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency?

The wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency would be short.


If a wave has a low frequency does it have a short wavelength?

The product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number ... the speedof the wave. So the lower frequencies must have longer wavelengths.


If a wave have long wavelength it has a what frequency?

In that case, it will have a low frequency.


What can you infer from a wave with short wavelength?

Low amplitude


What is different about each type of electromagnetic wave?

Each type of electromagnetic wave differs in terms of frequency, wavelength, and energy. For example, radio waves have low frequency and long wavelength, while gamma rays have high frequency and short wavelength. These differences determine the properties and behaviors of each type of electromagnetic wave.


Why do waves with a long wavelength have a low frequency?

Longer wavelength waves have lower frequency because frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength in a wave. This means that the longer the wavelength, the fewer wave crests pass a given point per unit time, resulting in a lower frequency.


Why does a light of low wavelength have high frequency?

We must keep in memory the following formula connecting wave velocity, wave frequency and wavelength. Namely, c = v l v is nu - frequency and l - lambda the wavelength Since for a constant value of wave velocity, v and l are inversely related. So as wavelength is low, then its frequency goes higher.


A wave with low frequency would have relatively?

A wave with low frequency would have a longer wavelength and carry less energy. It would also have fewer oscillations per unit of time compared to a high-frequency wave.


A wave has a low speed but a high frequency What can you infer about its wavelength?

That's short. (Note that the question avoids any definition of 'low' or 'high', so any answer should suffice.)


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.


Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?

No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
