i am assuming your talking about musical instrument strings?? well, each string vibrates at different rates. when tuning a guitar for example standard tune is at 440 hertz [or wave modulations] so although all the strings are different size thickness or gauge, we're able to "tune" the instrument by changing and adjusting each strings "frequency" hope this helps !!

What vibration of the wave is defined as that which has the lowest frequency?

The vibration of the wave with the lowest frequency is the fundamental vibration. It is also known as the first harmonic and typically has the longest wavelength in the wave.


What is the relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave?

The relationship between vibration and the frequency of a sound wave is that the frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the rate of vibration of the sound source. In other words, the higher the frequency of a sound wave, the faster the source of the sound is vibrating.


What is vibration of wave?

Vibration of a wave refers to the oscillating movement of particles or fields as the wave propagates through a medium. This vibration creates a pattern of alternating high and low pressure or displacement in the medium, resulting in the transmission of energy. The frequency of the vibration determines properties of the wave, such as pitch in sound waves or color in light waves.


What happens to the frequency of the waves when you increase the rate of vibration?

the amplitude increases


The of vibration of a wave is defined as that which has the lowest frequency?

The fundamental frequency of a wave is the lowest frequency at which it can vibrate. This frequency corresponds to the first harmonic or the wave's base frequency. It is the most stable and strongest frequency that the wave can produce.


Does the frequency of a wave increase if the source of vibration increases in energy?

no


How does the frequency of vibration of a small object floating in water compare to the number of waves passing it each second?

The frequency of vibration of a small object floating in water is equivalent to the number of waves passing it each second. As the object moves up and down with the waves, it completes a vibration cycle with each wave that passes, thus the frequency of vibration matches the frequency of the waves passing by.


What equals the frequency of a wave's rate?

The frequency of a wave is equal to the number of complete cycles of the wave that pass a point in one second. It is measured in hertz (Hz), with 1 Hz equivalent to one cycle per second. A wave with a higher frequency has more cycles passing a point in the same amount of time compared to a wave with a lower frequency.


How does frequency relate to light?

Light, being a vibrating electro-magnetic wave, has a frequency of vibration.


What does vibration have to do with waves?

Vibration is the source of waves. When an object vibrates, it creates disturbances in a medium, like air or water, that propagate as waves. The frequency of the vibration determines the frequency of the resulting wave.


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.


If something vibrates one million times per second it has a frequency of?

1Mhz (full wave) or 500kHz (half wave) but you didn't describe any type of oscillation so therefore it has no frequency except a vibration. What does Vibration mean? A sound vibration, does that mean noise energy? A material shake, a high noise energy noise pitch from collision or hum?
