If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happened to the wavelength?
If the frequency is doubled, the wavelength is halved. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, as determined by the medium it is traveling through. The wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely related according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.
What else can I help you with?
Is wavelength and frequency vary inversly?
The speed at which a wave propagates is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The wavelength and the frequency vary inversely because the speed of a certain type of wave in a certain type of medium under certain conditions is constant.
What is the relationship between frequency and wave lenth?
This is hard to explain without drawing a picture! If you imagine a wave going up and down (a bit like this.....ununun) then wavelength is the distance between the peaks or troughs (high and low points) on the wave. The frequency is how many oscillations of a wave there are in certain distance or time. So the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency because you can fit more waves into a certain distance. So longer wavelengths have a lower frequency.
How do you measure wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength can be measured by measuring the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of a wave. Frequency is measured by counting the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a certain amount of time.Wavelength and frequency are inversely related by the equation speed = wavelength x frequency, where speed is the speed of the wave.
How are both frequency and wavelength related in terms of physics?
Frequency is how many waves pass a certain point during an amount of time. Wavelength is the distance between two points. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in Physics. If the distance between the peaks of a wave decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. If the distance is increased, the frequency decreases.
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.
If a wave is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled what happens to the wavelength of that wave?
Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that is traveling at a certain speed and its frequency is doubled?
If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.
Is wavelength and frequency vary inversly?
The speed at which a wave propagates is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The wavelength and the frequency vary inversely because the speed of a certain type of wave in a certain type of medium under certain conditions is constant.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that slows down while retaining its original frequency?
As the basic formula of all types of waves is (Velocity of a wave=the product of the wavelength of it and its frequency). In this case, frequency of a certain wave is constant and the velocity is decreasing. And as the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength, the wavelength of the wave shortens as a result.
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.

How radio communicate works?
Radio communication works on radio signals that are "beamed" into the air on a certain frequency. Frequency is a certain wavelength or band. The receiving equipment has to be set to receive the signal on the same frequency.

Frequency is measured by counting the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a certain amount of time.Wavelength and frequency are inversely related by the equation speed = wavelength x frequency, where speed is the speed of the wave.

How does increasing the wavelength affect the frequency?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency is changed by some percentage, the wavelength changes by the same percentage in the other direction, in order to keep their product the same as it was.
AM radio dials are calibrated in frequency. A certain AM Brockville radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 830 kHz. What is the wavelength of these radio waves expressed in meters?
