A speed and length of a wave decrease the wave does what?

If the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency of the wave will also decrease. This means the wave will have a lower pitch or tone.


What is the relationship between length and wave frequency?

Frequency is inversely proportional to the wave length, thus saying the shorter the wave length the higher the frequency and vice versa.The frequency is the number of waves within a time period. As the frequency within that time period increases, the number of waves increases, therefore the width of each wave (wavelength) within that time period has to decrease. Therefore:As the wave length increases, the frequency decreasesAs the wave length decreases, the frequency increases


How long is a rope if its standing wave fundamental frequency has a wavelength of 10 meters?

The length of the rope would be half the wavelength of the standing wave, so in this case, the rope would be 5 meters long. This is because the fundamental frequency of the standing wave has one full wavelength, which corresponds to half the length of the rope.


As the speed and length of a wave decrease what happens to the wave?

As the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency remains the same while the wavelength decreases. This means that the wave's energy decreases as well.


What do you have to do to the wave height wave length and wave period to make the flattest wave?

To create the flattest wave, you would want to increase the wave height, decrease the wave length, and shorten the wave period. By making the wave taller, shorter, and more frequent, you reduce the steepness and make it flatter.

What is the different between half wave and full wave?

As states half wave will rectify only either positive or negative of a full wave. full wave will rectify positive and negative making it full wave rectification.


A speed and length of a wave decrease the wave does what?

If the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency of the wave will also decrease. This means the wave will have a lower pitch or tone.


How is water length and frequency of a wave related?

I don't know what's "water length" but I do know that the deeper the water are, the faster the wave goes. If you meant wave length and not water length, then the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency of the wave.


Does wave length affect wave speed?

No....

What is the relationship between a wave frequency and its wavelength?
