How are frequncy and wavelength related?

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength, meaning that if the speed of the wave is constant, a higher frequency will result in a shorter wavelength.


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of cm and a frequency of KHz?

The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).


How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?

You can decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave by increasing the frequency of the wave. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave, so increasing the frequency will result in a shorter wavelength.


The what of a wave can be calculated by multiplying frequency times wavelength?

v = frequency x wavelength v is the velocity of the wavelength


Does an increase in wavelength result in higher frequency?

no, as the wavelengths become longer, they also become less frequent.the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency===========================The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) never changes. So if either one changes,then the other one must change in exactly the opposite direction, in order to keeptheir product constant.(That product is the speed of the wave.)

Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?

Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters Lower frequency --> longer wavelength. Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.


The lower an electromagnetic wave's wavelength is the higher its frequency is?

That's correct.When you multiply the frequency times the wavelength , the result isalways the same number. So when either one decreases, the other onehas to increase.


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 50 cm and a frequency of 4 KHz?

The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).


What is the equation for frequency of a wave?

velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency


How can you find the speed that a wave travels?

Multiply its frequency by its wavelength.

How do you convert frequency from meters to megahertz?

"Meters" is not frequency. It's wavelength. If you know the wavelength in meters, divide 300 by it, and the result is the frequency in MHz. If you know the frequency in MHz, divide 300 by it, and the result is the wavelength in meters.


What result do you get when you multiply the wavelength by its freqeuncy?

If you multiply the two, you get the speed of the wave.
