The wavelength is inverse to the frequency, meaning the frequency in this case will increase.

When the frequency of a waveform increases does the wavelength increase or decrease?

decreases


If the wavelength of a given wave decreases you know that its frequency will stay the same true or false?

False. An increase in frequency means a decrease in the wavelength and a decrease in frequency goes with an increase in the wavelength.


As the frequency of a wave of constant speed is increased does the wavelength increase or decrease?

frequency x wavelength = speedSo, if you increase frequency, the wavelength decreases, and vice versa.


If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?

Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.


If the period of a wave decreases its frequency must?

Period and frequency are inverse to each other, as period increases frequency decreases. So, to answer this question as the period of the wave decreases its frequency must increase.


When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?

When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.


Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?

No, the frequency decreases as the wavelength lengthens. The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency.


How does the frequency of a water wave change as its wavelength changes?

With a water wave, an increase in the length of the wavelength will result in a decrease in the frequency of the wave. We could say that there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and the wavelength. As one increases, the other decreases, and as one decreases, the other increases.


What happens when you adjust frequency?

when you increase the frequency, then the wavelength decreases. :)


As the wavelength decreases what happens to wave diffraction?

As wavelength decreases the wave diffraction will decrease, so the curve formed will be less noticeable. The sharpness of the diffraction will decrease that you can see will lessen.


What happens to the wavelength the if we increase the frequency of vibration?

Provided the speed of the wave remains constant, as we increase the frequency of wave then wavelength decreases. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely related.


What decreases as the frequency of a sound wave increases?

Wavelength.
