More energy would be transferred in the wave, so a sound wave would get louder and a light wave would get brighter. The wavespeed, frequency, and wavelength of the wave will remain the same.

When you increase the wavelength what happens to the amplitude?

Increasing the wavelength typically does not have a direct effect on the amplitude of a wave. The amplitude of a wave is usually determined by the energy or disturbance that created the wave, which is independent of its wavelength.


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 happens to the wave when you decrease the wavelength or increase the wavelength?

When you decrease the wavelength of a wave, its frequency and energy increase. This is known as blue shift and is common in light waves. Conversely, when you increase the wavelength of a wave, its frequency and energy decrease. This is known as red shift and is also observed in light waves.


What happens to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is decreased?

In this case, the wavelength increases. The wavelength, multiplied by the frequency, is equal to the speed of the wave - and in most types of waves, the speed is more or less independent of the frequency.


What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of the wave is doubled?

When the frequency of a wave is doubled, the wavelength is halved. This is because the speed of a wave is constant in a given medium, so an increase in frequency results in a decrease in wavelength to maintain a constant speed.

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 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.


When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?

When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.

How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?

frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength


What happens to the wavelength of the wave as it passes into Medium 2?

The wavelength of the wave can change as it passes into Medium 2, depending on the refractive indices of the mediums. If the wave enters a medium with a higher refractive index, the wavelength will decrease. If it enters a medium with a lower refractive index, the wavelength will increase.


If we change the wavelength of a wave and make it shorter but with the same amplitude what would increase?

If you shorten the wavelength of a wave while keeping the amplitude constant, the frequency of the wave will increase. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave (frequency = speed of wave / wavelength).


What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?

Wavelength is halved.
