An equation that relates three basic quantities for waves in general is:speed = wavelength x frequency
In this case, if you increase the speed (without changing the wavelength), the frequency would have to increase; on the other hand, if you increase the wavelength (without changing the speed), the frequency would go decrease.

What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?
Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
How is a waves frequency related to a waves length?
The product of the wave's frequency and the wave's wave length is equal to the speed of propagation of the wave.
What is the speed of a wave if it has a frequency of 4hz and a wave length of 8 meters?
The speed of the wave will be 32 metres /sec .
How does increasing the wavelength by 50 percent affect the frequency of a wave on a rope?
it decrease the wave length
What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
What happens to a wave when you decrease the wave length?
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
What is the relation between speed frequency and wave length?
wave length and frequency are the product of the wave speed, so the wave speed is a constant variable and the other two are inversely proportional the wave length increases, as the frequency decreases
Does wave length affect wave speed?
No....

What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?
velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.
How is a waves frequency related to a waves length?
The product of the wave's frequency and the wave's wave length is equal to the speed of propagation of the wave.
What is the speed of a wave if it has a frequency of 4hz and a wave length of 8 meters?
The speed of the wave will be 32 metres /sec .
How does increasing the wavelength by 50 percent affect the frequency of a wave on a rope?
it decrease the wave length
What happens to the wave length when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
The wave length would necessarily be one half. The speed would remain the same independent of the frequency.
How far a wave travels in a given length of time?
wave speed
How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
