The wavelength of waves produced in a spring depends on the frequency of the wave and the speed at which the wave travels through the spring. The wavelength is calculated as the speed of the wave divided by its frequency.
Yes, you can change the wavelength of waves in a ripple tank by adjusting the frequency of the wave generator. Increasing the frequency will decrease the wavelength, while decreasing the frequency will increase the wavelength of the waves produced in the tank.
Increasing the speed of the plunger will result in shorter wavelength waves being produced. This is because the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to the speed of the wave: as the speed increases, the wavelength decreases.
When each portion of a coil spring is alternatively compressed and extended, a longitudinal wave is produced. Longitudinal waves propagate in the same direction as the direction of the vibration of the particles of the medium.
I wasn't there and didn't observe the experiment. But I would take a wild guessand say that as long as the tension in the spring doesn't change, the speed ofpropagation of waves in it is constant. So if you wiggle the end faster, the wavesmust get shorter.
As all EM waves do a constant speed ('c'). If the frequency increases (i.e. the waves are more frequent) the distance between the wave peaks (wavelength) must reduce. For visible light waves, this produces a 'blue shift.'
The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.

Frequency = speed / wavelength = 3/0.2 = 15 Hertz

"radio waves" have longest wavelength..

Waves of extremely short wavelength produced as a result of transitions of electrons in an atom.
When waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other.
The wavelength of ultraviolet waves is shorter than the wavelength of infrared waves. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm, while infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to 1 mm.
IR waves are longer than UV waves.
