Explain the difference between a wave and a wavelength?

A wave is a normal wave and a wave length is the wave Height or distance


What happens to the energy of a wave as the wavelength of a wave increases?

What happenes to the wave when you decrease the wave length?

When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.


What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?

velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.


What are wave length and wave height?

Wave length, also known as cycle and period, is the difference in magnitude from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on an adjacent wave as measured along, and defined by, the x-axis of the graphed wave forms. Wave height, also known as magnitude, is the distance above or below the x-axis as measured along, and defined by, the y-axis of the graphed wave forms.


A speed and length of a wave decrease the wave does what?

If the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency of the wave will also decrease. This means the wave will have a lower pitch or tone.


What is the length of full wave?

The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".


What is the orientation of a ray in relation to the wave front of a wave?

A ray is perpendicular to the wave front of a wave. It represents the direction of energy propagation, while the wave front shows the position of the wave at a specific moment in time.


Does wave length affect wave speed?

No....
