wavelength decreases the frequency of light increases since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.

frequency = velocity / wavelength

The wavelength of the sound wave decreases as the frequency increases. This means that the distance between two consecutive wave peaks (or troughs) becomes shorter.

When the frequency increases the wavelength decreases. The wavelength is the distance between consecutive peaks in the waveform (or consecutive troughs)

Wavelength decreases because it is inversely related to frequency.

Wavelength*Frequency = Speed (of wave, light, etc.)

If the wavelength decreases, then the frequency increases if the wave is traveling at the same velocity.

By exactly the same factor, so that their product remains constant.

(That product is called the "speed" of the wave.)

What increases when sound wave travel in solid from gas medium frequency or wavelength?

The frequency increases when a sound wave travels from a gas medium to a solid medium, while the wavelength decreases. This is because sound waves travel faster in solids compared to gases due to a higher density and a more rigid structure of solids.


What happens when you increase the frequency of a sound wave?

Speed = distance / time [m /s]likewise:Speed of wave = wavelength x frequency [m /s]Since sound waves travel at a fixed speed through a medium* a drop in frequency must cause a corresponding increase in wavelength*Not always true. In water of example, lower frequency waves travel faster than higher frequency waves. When this happens the waves are said to be travelling through a dispersive medium.


If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?

Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.


If a sound gets louder does the wavelength of the sound it produces increase?

No, the wavelength of a sound does not change when the intensity or loudness of the sound increases. The wavelength of a sound wave depends on the frequency of the sound, which is determined by the source of the sound.


What is Sweep wave?

A sweep wave refers to a sound wave that increases or decreases in frequency continuously over time. This type of wave is commonly used in electronic synthesis and audio effects to create a sweeping or swirling sound effect. Sweep waves can add dynamic movement and texture to music or sound design.
