Does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases?

Because the product of (frequency times wavelength) is always the same number ...
it's the speed of the wave. So if one of them changes, the other one has to change
in the opposite direction, in order for the product to remain the same number.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoBecause their product is always the same number ... the speed of the wave.
The only way for their product to remain constant is if they change in opposite directions.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThe product of both is equal to the speed of the wave, and the speed of the wave is normally more or less constant, for most types of waves.

If the wavelength of a given wave decreases you know that its frequency will stay the same true or false?
False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.
If the period of a wave decreases its frequency must?
Period and frequency are inverse to each other, as period increases frequency decreases. So, to answer this question as the period of the wave decreases its frequency must increase.
How does the frequency of a water wave change as its wavelength changes?
With a water wave, an increase in the length of the wavelength will result in a decrease in the frequency of the wave. We could say that there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and the wavelength. As one increases, the other decreases, and as one decreases, the other increases.
What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency decreases and the waveleNgth increases?
the wave decreases.
What happens to the period of a wave when the frequency decreases?
The period and frequency of a wave are inversely related, i.e. the period is the time it takes for wave to go through a cycle, and the frequency is the number of cycles in a certain time period. For example, a wave with a period of 0.5 seconds would have a frequency of 2 per second. Since these properties are the inverse of each other, than they will be opposite when changing. If the period decreases (i.e. gets shorter, faster) than the frequency increases. Or vice versa.
What happens to the wavelength the if we increase the frequency of vibration?
Provided the speed of the wave remains constant, as we increase the frequency of wave then wavelength decreases. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
What decreases as the frequency of a sound wave increases?
Wavelength.
As the frequency of a wave of constant speed is increased does the wavelength increase or decrease?
frequency x wavelength = speedSo, if you increase frequency, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
If the wavelength of a given wave decreases you know that its frequency will stay the same true or false?
False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.
If the period of a wave decreases its frequency must?
Period and frequency are inverse to each other, as period increases frequency decreases. So, to answer this question as the period of the wave decreases its frequency must increase.

As the frequency of a wave increases what happens to the wavelength?
As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
What happens to the speed of a wave if the frequency decreases and the waveleNgth increases?
the wave decreases.
Does the wavelength increase as the frequency of an energy wave increase?
No. the wave length decreases as the frequency of an energy wave increases and vise versa. We acyually are learning thatin my 8th grade science class.

What happens to frequency when wavelength increases or decreases?
When the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency decreases. When the wavelength decreases, the frequency decreases. These two values are said to be inversely proportional. Here is the equation for velocity of a wave: v = f λ where v = velocity (usually 3.0 x 108 meters/second2, which is the speed of light) f = frequency (usually in Hertz or 1/seconds) λ = wavelength (usually in nm or nanometers)
