As the frequency of sound is increased, does the wavelength increase or decrease?

Question

Year 11 Physics

Answer 1

Higher frequency means shorter wavelength:decrease

Answer 2

V=f (lambda)

V=constant

(lambda)=V/f

inversely proportional,

.....decrease....

Answer 3

Wavelength is measured by time.

Frequency is measured in cycles per second.

The word "per" above means division.

So, wavelength is inverse of time.

If frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Answer 4

decrease

Answer 5

Simple answer

wavelength = speed/frequency

frequency and wavelength have an inverse relation.

Answer 6

As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases.  This is true for light and other electromagnetic radiation as well as sound.

Answer 7

Frequency = 1 / Landa

In this case landa is wavelength :)

Answer 8

simple answer is Decrease.

Sound travels 342m in one second in air no matter the frequency.

frequency is oscillations or waves per second.

therefore if we divide distance travelled in one second by how many oscillations per second we get the wavelength.

the higher the frequency, (denominator) the shorter the wavelength.
