The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ...

the wave's speed. So if one of them doubles, the other one must drop by half.

Can you change the wavelength of waves in a ripple tank?

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.


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

The waves with a 2 MHz frequency would have a longer wavelength compared to waves with a 56 Hz frequency. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, so as frequency increases, the wavelength decreases.


As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?

As the wavelength decreases, the frequency of the waves increases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional - as one decreases, the other increases, according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.


How does a decrease in velocity affect the frequency and wavelength of the waves entering the shallow water?

A decrease in velocity of the waves will cause a decrease in frequency and a decrease in wavelength as the waves enter shallow water. This is due to the relationship between velocity, frequency, and wavelength which is defined by the equation: velocity = frequency x wavelength.


How are frequency and wavelength of electomagnetic waves realted?

Frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves are inversely proportional. This means that as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency.

How wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of waves increase?

The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.


How would the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed change if the frequency of the waves increase?
