What happens to the wavelength of a sound if the frequency is doubled?

If the frequency of a sound is doubled, the wavelength would be halved. This is because wavelength and frequency have an inverse relationship: as one increases, the other decreases.


What would happen to the wave length if you could increase the frequency of a periodic wave?

If you increase the frequency of a periodic wave, the wavelength would decrease. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave: as frequency goes up, wavelength goes down.


What frequency have the shortest wavelength?

For light they would be gamma rays, or waves with a frequency greater than 1 * 10^20 (10000000000000000000) Hz. And really, as a general rule, the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. If you want to calculate the frequency or wavelength you take the speed of light (~3.00*10^8 m/s) and divide it by either the frequency or wavelength, and your answer will be the wavelength (if you used frequency) or the frequency (if you used wavelength).


Is it possible to draw a high frequency wave with long wavelength?

It depends on what you consider high frequency and long wavelength. However, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa. In fact, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.


What is the frequency of a150 meter radio wavelength?

The frequency of a 150 meter radio wavelength can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. For a 150 meter wavelength, the frequency would be approximately 2 MHz (megahertz).

If the frequency is doubled then for waves what would be the wavelength and vlocity?

Frequency = Velocity divided by wavelength. So if frequency is doubled that means velocity is doubled but the wavelength is halved. You can see this by keeping wavelength a constant : If Frequency =1 and Wavelength= 1 1= Velocity/1 Velocity=1 If Frequency =2 and Wavelength= 1 2= Velocity/1 Velocity =2 OR keeping Velocity constant: If Frequency =1 and Velocity= 1 1= 1/Wavelength Wavelength =1 If Frequency =2 and Velocity= 1 2= 1/Wavelength Wavelength=1/2


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.


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).

If a wave is travelling at a certain speed and its frequency is cut in half what would happen to the wavelength of the wave?

it would become longer


How the wavelength traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the 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.
