Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. Therefore, since the speed usually doesn't change much, longer wavelength means lower frequency.

Is it better to have high Wavelengths or low Wavelengths?

It depends on the context. In terms of light, shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies) have more energy, while longer wavelengths (lower frequencies) have lower energy. In terms of sound, shorter wavelengths (higher frequencies) are perceived as higher pitched, while longer wavelengths (lower frequencies) are perceived as lower pitched.


How do you change the pitch sound?

Adjust the wavelenght! The higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longer wavelengths. Basically, the longer the wavelength, the lower the pitch.


How does wavelength affect of sound?

Wavelength affects the pitch of sound: shorter wavelengths correspond to higher pitch, and longer wavelengths correspond to lower pitch. In the context of sound waves, shorter wavelengths are associated with higher frequencies, while longer wavelengths are associated with lower frequencies.


Does waves with longer wave lengths have a higher frequency that waves with shorter wave lenghts?

No, waves with longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and waves with shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength in a wave.


The length of the sound wave determines?

The pitch of the sound. Sound waves with shorter wavelengths have higher frequency and produce higher-pitched sounds, while longer wavelengths have lower frequency and produce lower-pitched sounds.


What Component of electromagnetic waves that does vary?

The frequency of electromagnetic waves varies, which is determined by the energy of the wave. Higher energy waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths, while lower energy waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths.


Which has the higher frequencies ultraviolet or infrared?

Ultraviolet light has higher frequencies than infrared light. Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher energy compared to infrared light which has longer wavelengths and lower energy.


Are light wavelenghts short or longer?

Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy light, such as ultraviolet and gamma rays, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy light, such as radio waves and infrared.


What is the difference from lower sound waves and higher sound waves?

Lower sound waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths, resulting in deeper tones. Higher sound waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths, producing higher-pitched sounds. This difference in frequency and wavelength affects how we perceive and interpret sound.


Are infrared raise shorter than ultraviolet rays?

No, infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet rays, which have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?

Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.


How does the length of a straw affects the high and low note is?

The length of a straw affects the pitch of the sound it produces when blown. A shorter straw produces a higher pitch, while a longer straw produces a lower pitch due to the difference in the wavelength of the sound waves created. Shorter straws have shorter wavelengths, resulting in higher frequencies and higher notes, whereas longer straws have longer wavelengths, resulting in lower frequencies and lower notes.
