irst, a change in wavelength (or frequency) of the source will alter the number of lines in the pattern and alter the proximity or closeness of the lines. An increase in frequency will result in more lines per centimeter and a smaller distance between each consecutive line.

How does interference pattern change when wavelength of light is used?

Shorter wavelengths produce interference patterns with narrower fringes and greater separation between them, while longer wavelengths produce interference patterns with wider fringes and smaller separation between them. The spacing of fringes is proportional to the wavelength of light.


When you changethe wavelength do you change the frequency?

No, changing the wavelength of a wave does not change its frequency. The frequency of a wave is determined by the source of the wave and remains constant regardless of changes in wavelength.


What happen to the speed when frequency and wavelength change?

It would change, depending on how much the frequency and the wavelength changes. It varies based on v = fλ.


If the frequency of a water wave changes what must also change?

The wavelength also changes.The product [ (frequency) times (wavelength) ] is the speed of a wave, which is constant.So in order for frequency to change, wavelength must change in the opposite direction, tokeep their product constant.


How does wavelength change when frequency is constant?

the wavelength changes when the frequency changes if the wavelengths are smaller and thinner then the frequency is high, when the frequency is slow then the wavelengths is larger and wider. if the frequency is constant then the wavelength is a normal size


Why does wavelength change during refraction?

Wavelength changes during refraction because the speed of light changes when it passes through different mediums, causing the frequency to remain constant. According to the equation c = fλ (where c is the speed of light, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength), when the speed of light changes, the wavelength must also change to keep the frequency constant.


Describe how the frequency of a wave changes as the wavelength changes?

it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also increases


How does the energy associated with waves change wavelength changes?

a shorter wavelength means lower energy. A shorter wavelength means high energy


What happens to a wave if the wavelength changes?

If the wavelength of a wave changes, the frequency of the wave will also change because the speed of the wave remains constant in the same medium. This means that if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa, according to the equation: frequency = speed of the wave / wavelength.


How does the velocity change as the wavelength increases?

As the wavelength of a wave increases, the velocity of the wave remains constant. In a given medium, the velocity of a wave is determined by the properties of that medium, such as its density and elasticity, and is not affected by changes in wavelength.


How does the frequency of a wave change as its wave length changes?

You can see how the frequency of a wave changes as its wavelength changes by using the formula Velocity= wavelength x frequencyIf for example we are talking about the speed of light (Which does change) and the wavelength is reduced, then the frequency has to increase in order to balance out to the speed of light.Another way to view it is like this:The frequency of a wave changes with the wavelength by what happens to the wavelength. For instance, if the wavelength is doubled, the frequency is halved, and vise versa.


Which characteristic of a wave changes as the wave travels across a boundary between two different media?

The essential characteristic that changes is the speed of the wave. The wavelength also changes. Amplitude and polarization can change. What does not change is the frequency.
