it gets divided by 10; frequency = speed/wavelength; wavelength = speed/frequency

When you increase sound what happens to wavelength?
frequency = 1/time? If frequency increases, times decreases, so the wave length decreases
If frequency of a sound wave is multiplied by 10 what happens to the wavelenth?
Frequency and wavelength have an inverse ratio relationship. When one doubles, the other is cut in half. When one is multiplied by 10, the other is divided by 10. The exact relationship is: wavelength = wave velocity/frequency.
What happens to a frequency heard when an observer begins toward the stationary source of a sound?
.The frequency increases
What happens if you change the amplitude or frequency of a sound?
The period would decrease, since the period is simply the reciprocal of the frequency. Also, the wavelength should decrease - since the speed of a wave usually doesn't depend significantly on the frequency, and the wavelength is equal to the speed divided by the frequency.
Does the velocity of sound change with medium?
Of course,velocity and wave length change.But frequency is constant.

What are characteristics of sound energy?
The main characteristics of sound are frequency, amplitude and wave length
What are some characteristic of sound energy?
The main characteristics of sound are frequency, amplitude and wave length
How does the frequency and wave length of the sound waves be produce and changed with a guitar?
because it makes sound
What are high frequency sounds?
A series of short length sound waves.
The high the frequency of a sound wave means?
the shorter the wave-length
What happens to a frequency heard when an observer begins toward the stationary source of a sound?
.The frequency increases
What happens when a sound source passes by you?
it's frequency increases
What is the equation used to find the speed of sound?
Speed = Frequency * Wave length.
What happens when you increase the frequency of a sound wave?
Speed = distance / time [m /s]likewise:Speed of wave = wavelength x frequency [m /s]Since sound waves travel at a fixed speed through a medium* a drop in frequency must cause a corresponding increase in wavelength*Not always true. In water of example, lower frequency waves travel faster than higher frequency waves. When this happens the waves are said to be travelling through a dispersive medium.
What happens to a sound when its rate of vibration decreases?
It becomes a lower frequency.
