What happens to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is decreased?
In this case, the wavelength increases. The wavelength, multiplied by the frequency, is equal to the speed of the wave - and in most types of waves, the speed is more or less independent of the frequency.
What happens to frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decreased and when the wavelength is increased?
When wavelength decreases, frequency increases, and when wavelength increases, frequency decreases. The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the speed of the wave. So when one of them changes, the other one must change in the opposite direction in order for their product to remain unchanged.
How does the wavelength of a light wave change if the frequency is decreased by a factor of 2?
If the frequency of the light wave is decreased by a factor of 2, the wavelength will double. This is because the speed of light remains constant in a given medium, so as frequency decreases (and energy decreases), wavelength increases to maintain the speed of light.
What will happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is left unchanged?
If the frequency of a wave is left unchanged, the wavelength will also remain constant. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, so they always adjust together to maintain the speed of the wave.
What happens to frequency when you double wavelength?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number. (It happens to be the speed of the wave.) So if one of them doubles, the other one gets decreased by half.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is decreased?

So when one of them changes, the other one must change in the opposite direction in order for their product to remain unchanged.
What happens to the frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decrased and why?
The freequency of a wave is increased when the wavelength is decreased. This is because the product of the frequency and the wavelength are a constant that determines the speed of the wave c=fw.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the energy is increased?
If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave; energy is proportional to frequency (E=hf), and frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength (wavelength equals velocity divided by frequency). So when the wavelength is increased, the energy is decreased.
How does the wavelength of a light wave change if the frequency is decreased by a factor of 2?
If the frequency of the light wave is decreased by a factor of 2, the wavelength will double. This is because the speed of light remains constant in a given medium, so as frequency decreases (and energy decreases), wavelength increases to maintain the speed of light.
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 speed when frequency and wavelength change?
It would change, depending on how much the frequency and the wavelength changes. It varies based on v = fλ.
What will happen to the wavelength of a wave if the frequency is left unchanged?
If the frequency of a wave is left unchanged, the wavelength will also remain constant. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, so they always adjust together to maintain the speed of the wave.
What happens to frequency when you double wavelength?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number. (It happens to be the speed of the wave.) So if one of them doubles, the other one gets decreased by half.
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).
What do you call the bending of a wave around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction, more diffraction if wavelength is increased (or frequency decreased)
Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?
No, frequency and wavelength are inversely related in a phenomenon called the wavelength-frequency relationship. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: Speed = Frequency x Wavelength.
