The frequency and period of a wave are inversely proportional. Therefore, as the frequency increases, the period decreases.

frequency = 1/period

period = 1/frequency

Which property of electromagnetic waves decreases as the frequency increases?

The wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases as the frequency increases.


As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?

As the wavelength decreases, the frequency of the waves increases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional - as one decreases, the other increases, according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.


What decreases in a wave when its frequency increases?

The wavelength of the wave decreases as its frequency increases. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, so as frequency increases, there are more waves passing a given point in a given time period, resulting in shorter wavelengths.


If the waves speed stays the same what decreases as the frequency increases?

The wavelength decreases.


What decreases as the frequency of the radiation increases?

I would say the most obvious is the length of the constituent waves.


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


As the wavelength of sound increase its frequency does what?

As the wavelength of sound increases, its frequency decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in sound waves, meaning that as one increases, the other decreases.


What happens to the wavelength of electromagnetic waves as frequency increases?

As frequency increases, the wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases. This is because these two properties are inversely proportional to each other, meaning that as one increases, the other decreases. This relationship is described by the equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency.


If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?

Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.


What will the wavelength of a wave do if the period of the wave increases?

The wavelength will increase if the period increases.Proof:First define the terms: Wavelength = Lamda (λ), Velocity of propagation = v, frequency = f, period of oscillation = T. Frequency asks "how many waves per unit time (seconds usually)".Period asks "How much time (seconds) does it take for one wave cycle to complete".Also, frequency is inversely proportional to period, so f = 1/T. Also, T = 1/f.(Incidentally, note that as period (T) increases, then frequency (f) gets decreases. Or if frequency increases, then period decreases.)λ = v/forλ = vT. (by replacing f with 1/T)If the frequency decreases, OR/AND the velocity increases, then wavelength corespondingly increases.If the period increases OR/AND the velocity increases, then the wavelength increases.


How the period and frequency of electromagnetic waves change between gamma rays and microwaves?

Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to microwaves. This means that gamma rays have a higher frequency and shorter period than microwaves. As you move from gamma rays to microwaves, the period of the electromagnetic waves increases while the frequency decreases.


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.
