If you increase the frequency of a periodic wave, the wave length decreases proportionally.

What will happen to the wavelength if the frequency is decreased?

the wave length will increase


What would happen if the length of wire increase what happens to frequency?

If you change the length of the string will it make the frequency increase or decrease?

increase the length of the string means decrease the tension in the string, therefore as the tension decreases the frequency will drop due to loosen of the string.


What happens to a pitch if you shorten the string?

The frequency of a pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of its length. If you want to increase the frequency of a pendulum by a factor of 10, you make it 99% shorter.


What would happen if the length of wire increase what happens to the capacitance?

Does the wavelength increase as the frequency of an energy wave increase?

No. the wave length decreases as the frequency of an energy wave increases and vise versa. We acyually are learning thatin my 8th grade science class.

Why is it impossible to increase the frequency and the the wave length of a wave at the same time?

v = w*f. If w (wave length) is increased f (frequency) must go down to keep v (velocity) constant.


If you increase the length of a rectangle what has to happen to its width to keep the perimeter the same?

If you increase the length then the width must decrease by the same amount if the perimeter is to remain the same.


In a tank of water if the waves frequency is increased what will happen?

The length between wave peaks and troughs will get shorter


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

Speed is (Length/Time). Wavelength is (Length), and Frequency is (1/Time).Speed = (Wavelength)*(Frequency). With a constant speed, Wavelength and Frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So if one increases, the other decreases.


As the speed and length of a wave decrease the wave?

An equation that relates three basic quantities for waves in general is:speed = wavelength x frequency In this case, if you increase the speed (without changing the wavelength), the frequency would have to increase; on the other hand, if you increase the wavelength (without changing the speed), the frequency would go decrease.
