As the frequency of a wave increases while the speed remains constant, the wavelength of the wave will decrease. This is because the speed of a wave is the product of its frequency and wavelength, according to the wave equation v = f * λ. So if the speed is constant and frequency increases, wavelength must decrease to maintain this relationship.

What will happen to the waves frequency if its wavelength is made twice as long?

If the wavelength is doubled, the frequency of the wave will be halved. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, so as the wavelength increases, the number of wavelengths passing a point in a given time decreases, resulting in a lower frequency.


If the frequency of a wave traveling in a rope is doubled what will happen to the speed of the wave?

Assuming that the wavelength remains constant, the velocity of the rope will also double if the frequency is doubled. This can be seen in the word equation below: speed = frequency x wavelength If we assume that wavelength is a constant...let wavelength = 1 speed = frequency therefore... 2 x frequency = 2 x speed


What would happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is halved?

If the frequency of a wave is halved, the wavelength would double. This is because the speed of the wave remains constant, so by halving the frequency (which is the number of wave cycles per unit time), each wave cycle now covers a longer distance, resulting in a longer wavelength.


When this happens when Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same?

That doesn't happen. You're fishing for "frequency increases", because you're unclear on the independent and dependent quantities. Once the wave leaves the source, the frequency doesn't change.


What causes the frequency of a wave to increase?

The frequency of a wave increases when the number of wave cycles passing a fixed point in a given time period increases. This can happen when the wave source vibrates more rapidly or when the wave travels through a medium with higher speed.

When will happen if the sellers in the market increase?

As the Number of Sellers Increases, the Supply of the commodity Increases. As Supply Increases, and demand remains constant, Prices Decrease.


If the speed of a wave increases and its frequency does not change then what will happen to its wavelength?

This generally happens when a wave moves from one medium into another.Now, the velocity (v) of a wave (mechanical and electromagnetic) is equal to the product of its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ).So, v = f x λThat means if frequency is constant, the wavelength is directly proportional to the velocity.So, if the speed of the wave increases (while frequency remains the same), the wavelength will also increase.

If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?

Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.


If a wave is moving at a constant speed and the wavelength is doubled what will happen to the frequency?

IF a wave moving at a constant speed were to have it's wavelength doubled (Wavelength x 2), then the frequency of the wave would be half of what it originally was (Frequency / 2).


How is the wavelength related to frequency for waves moving at a constant speed?

Whatever the wavelength and frequency happen to be, their product is always equal to the speed.


What happen to the current when the voltage increased if the resistance are constant?

If voltage increases when current remains constant then resistance must also increase. Ohm's Law: Voltage = Current times Resistance.


Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same. What will the result be when this happens?

Assuming an electromechanical wave not much. The speed of the wave depends on the medium that the wave is passing through. In a vacuum it is the speed of light, through something else a lesser speed. The wavelength stays the same and the frequency stays the same.


What would happen to the pressure of a gas sealed container if the volume increases and the temperature stays the same?

If the temperature increases, then the volume of the gases cannot stay the same. The pressure will keep building until it overcomes the integrity of the container its contained in and causes an explosion.
