Amplitude is not relevant for this. Use the following formula: c = lambda times f; or speed (of the wave) = wavelength times frequency. If you know any two of these, you can solve for the third. The way the question is phrased, you don't have enough information - you only know the frequency. However, if you know that it is a light (or other EM) wave in a vacuum, you can use a speed of 300,000,000 m/s; if you know that it is sound in air, 331 m/s is a reasonable assumption.

How does the amplitude and frequency affect wavelength?

The amplitude of a wave does not affect its wavelength as wavelength is determined by the speed of the wave and its frequency. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is expressed mathematically as wavelength = speed of the wave / frequency.


What happens to a wavelength when the amplitude and frequency are both increased?

When the amplitude and frequency of a wave are both increased, the wavelength remains constant. Amplitude affects the intensity or loudness of the wave, while frequency determines the pitch. Therefore, changing the amplitude and frequency does not alter the wavelength of the wave.


How do you calculate the amplitude given the frequency and the wavelength?

To calculate the amplitude given the frequency and wavelength, you would need additional information. Amplitude is a measure of the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position in a wave, which requires knowing the wave equation or properties of the medium carrying the wave. Frequency and wavelength alone do not determine the amplitude of a wave.


How does amplitude frequency and wavelength affect each other?

-- Frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional. So knowing one of them determines what the other one must be. -- Amplitude has no relationship to frequency or wavelength, and no effect on them.


How is frequency and amplitude related?

Frequency and amplitude are two key characteristics of waves. In general, higher frequency waves have a shorter wavelength and carry more energy. Meanwhile, amplitude refers to the height of a wave and is not directly related to frequency.

How are amplitude wavelength and frequency related?

The wavelength and frequency of any wave are inversely proportional. Neither of them is related to the wave's amplitude in any way.


What was your average wavelength when the waves had a 10cm amplitude?

There isn't any. The amplitude gives no information about the frequency or wavelength, and is completely unrelated to them.


If we change the wavelength of a wave and make it shorter but with the same amplitude what would increase?

If you shorten the wavelength of a wave while keeping the amplitude constant, the frequency of the wave will increase. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave (frequency = speed of wave / wavelength).


If wavelength increases what happens to frequency and wave energy?

If wavelength increases, frequency decreases inversely. Wave energy remains the same since it is determined by amplitude and not by wavelength or frequency.


How can you classify smell based on different physical parameters like frequency amplitude or wavelength?

Smell has nothing to do with frequency, amplitude, or wavelength. It is more about detecting the presence of certain types of molecules.


Does an electromagnetic wave have amplitude wavelength and frequency?

Yes, an electromagnetic wave has an amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. The amplitude represents the wave's maximum displacement from its midpoint, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of the wave, and the frequency is the number of complete wave cycles that pass a certain point in one second.


When a waves' amplitude increases does the frequency change?

Velocity of wave = frequency * wavelength (the universal wave equation does not involve amplitude) There is no direct relationship between the amplitude and the wavelength of a wave and therefore if the amplitude increases the wavelength will not necessarily change.
