No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.
When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.

Does higher temperature mean short wavelength?

No, higher temperature does not necessarily mean shorter wavelength. In the context of radiation, higher temperature typically means higher frequency and shorter wavelength, according to Wien's Displacement Law. However, in general physics, temperature and wavelength are not directly related.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?

Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.


A sound wave that has a higher frequency has a wavelength that is shorter or longer?

A wave with a high frequency has a low wavelength. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed cof the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f


How is the energy of a photon related to its frequency and wavelength?

wavelength : wavelength is the distance from crest of one wave to the crest of next frequency : the number of waves that passes a given point in one second energy : the amplitude or intensity of a wave energy and frequency is directly proportional to each other when energy is high frequency is also high wavelength and frequency or energy is inversly proportional to each other when wavelength is high frequency or energy is low


How does the length of a pipe affect pitch?

The sound produced by a pipe is due to standing waves that are formed in the body of the pipe. The fundamental frequency,f1, produced, is given by the formula : f1=v/2L , where v is the velocity of the wave and depends only on the physical characteristics of the mean (e.g. air density), and L is the length of the pipe. So if the length increases the frequency decreases.

What does frequency mean in music?

Each note has a specific frequency. The frequency is defined by the wavelengths produced by the sound. Just as FM radio stations each have specific frequencies (ie: 96.5), musical notes are the same. Think of an image of a wavelength. The more squiggles, the higher the frequency, and the higher the pitch.

What do you mean by using the word wavelength?

The word "wavelength" refers to the frequency of a wave. Wavelength is measured in hertz; the number of vibrations per second.


When they say Increasing wavelength Referring to spectrum do they mean short wavelengths?

increasing wavelength means shorter frequency.

What is mean by lumped element in electronics?

lumped" means that the dimension of you ckt element is much smaller than the wavelength of the signal passing through it. Therefore, you can treat your ckt element as a lumped unit (against the wavelength), and do not have to worry about wave propagation phenomenon "within" your ckt element. The opposite of "lumped element" is "distributed network." Typically, in low-frequency ckt/network, since the frequency is low, therefore, the wavelength is large (wavelength = propagation speed(usu. speed of light) / frequency ), so most elements can be treated as lumped. However, as frequency goes higher and higher, the wavelength becomes shorted and shorter, the wave propagation effect WITHIN the ckt element becomes more and more pronounced.


Is a sound quieter when a vibration is smaller?

No. If a vibration is smaller, the sound is higher pitched. To get a quieter sound the amplitude of the sound-wave needs to be smaller. +++ It depends whether you mean amplitude or wavelength being "smaller", and they are two different things. If the vibration's amplitude is smaller the sound is quieter irrespective of frequency. If the vibration is more rapid, the frequency is higher but the wavelength correspondingly smaller irrespective of amplitude.


What does pitch mean in science terms?

Pitch as in sound, ie physics relates to frequency measured in cycles per second or more popularly hertz (Hz). Further study: This is also dependent on the wavelength of a soundwave, as if the wave is longer, it will take longer for the cycle to pass from one crest of a wave to the next crest etc
