That's like asking "What happens to the rain clouds if the street floods ?"
The speed of a wave depends on the electrical or mechanical characteristics of the
medium the wave is traveling through. It doesn't depend on the frequency or the
wavelength, and you can't make a wave travel faster or slower by changing the
frequency or the wavelength.
We can only handle the question if we forget all about independent and dependent
variables, as if, for example, we could infect a lot of people with a flu virus and
cause the weather to turn cold.
The formula for the speed of a wave is:
Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength).
From this, we can plainly see that if both the frequency and the wavelength
increase somehow, and if the speed depends on them, then the speed must
also increase.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the frequency of the wave if you increase the wavelength keeping the velocity of the wave constant?
If you increase the wavelength while keeping the wave velocity constant (since velocity = frequency x wavelength), the frequency of the wave will decrease proportionally. This relationship is described by the equation v = fλ.
What will the result be when this happens Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same.?
This is not true practically. Theoretically speaking as velocity increases with wavelength remains constant, then frequency has to increase accordingly. Since the formula for velocity is given as: velocity of the wave v = frequency (nu) * wavelength (lamda). In reality the characteristic, namely, frequency remains constant when the speed of the wave changes as it traverses in different medium.

What happens to the wavelength when the speed is increased and frequency stays the same?
If the speed is increased and the frequency stays the same, the wavelength will also increase. Wavelength is inversely proportional to speed for a constant frequency, so as the speed increases, the wavelength will also increase.

What happens to the you increase the wavelength?
Remember that wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave.If you increase the wavelength, the frequency will decrease - since the speed of most waves is more or less independent of the frequency or wavelength.
What happens to the wavelength the if we increase the frequency of vibration?
Provided the speed of the wave remains constant, as we increase the frequency of wave then wavelength decreases. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
What happens when you increase the speed of a wave what happens to the wavelength?
If the frequency remains constant, then the wavelength increases.
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.
Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same. What will the result be when this happens?
Assuming an electromechanical wave not much. The speed of the wave depends on the medium that the wave is passing through. In a vacuum it is the speed of light, through something else a lesser speed. The wavelength stays the same and the frequency stays the same.
What happens to the wavelength when the speed is increased and frequency stays the same?
If the speed is increased and the frequency stays the same, the wavelength will also increase. Wavelength is inversely proportional to speed for a constant frequency, so as the speed increases, the wavelength will also increase.

velocity increases
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the energy is increased?
If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave; energy is proportional to frequency (E=hf), and frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (wavelength equals velocity divided by frequency). So when the wavelength is increased, the energy is decreased.
