Vacuums don't have frequencies.

Electromagnetic waves moving through vacuums have frequencies and wavelengths.

They also have speed. Regardless of their frequency and wavelength, their speed is always
299,792,458 meters per second.

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is [ (its speed) divided by (its frequency) ].

If its frequency is 1.01 Hz, then its wavelength is 296,824,215.8 meters (about 184,438 miles).

What is wave length times frequency?

The product of wavelength and frequency is the speed of the wave, which is a constant value for a specific medium, such as the speed of light in a vacuum. The equation that relates wavelength, frequency, and speed is: speed = wavelength * frequency.


What is the relationship between length and wave frequency?

Frequency is inversely proportional to the wave length, thus saying the shorter the wave length the higher the frequency and vice versa.The frequency is the number of waves within a time period. As the frequency within that time period increases, the number of waves increases, therefore the width of each wave (wavelength) within that time period has to decrease. Therefore:As the wave length increases, the frequency decreasesAs the wave length decreases, the frequency increases


If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?

The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.


If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum you can calculate its?

If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, you can calculate its frequency using the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, where the speed is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.


What would happen to the wave length if you could increase the frequency of a periodic wave?

If you increase the frequency of a periodic wave, the wavelength would decrease. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave: as frequency goes up, wavelength goes down.

What is the relation between speed frequency and wave length?

wave length and frequency are the product of the wave speed, so the wave speed is a constant variable and the other two are inversely proportional the wave length increases, as the frequency decreases


How are wave length and wave frequency are related?

velocity = frequency x wavelength


How is the frequency of a wave related toits wave length?

Frequency of the a wave equals its velocity divided by its wavelength.


What is the product of the frequency and the wave length of a wave?

Frequency (1/seconds) x Wave Length (meters) = Speed (meters/sec. or m/s)


How is water length and frequency of a wave related?

I don't know what's "water length" but I do know that the deeper the water are, the faster the wave goes. If you meant wave length and not water length, then the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency of the wave.
