Why does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases

Physics

SashulF [63]3 years ago

Because their PRODUCT is always the same number ... the wave speed. So if one of them changes, the other one has to change in the opposite direction, in order to keep their product the same.

Explanation:

We know that the number of complete waves formed in 1 sec time is frequency and the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is wavelength. And we have the formula that

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

or, frequency = velocity / wavelength

Here we can see frequency is directly proportional to velocity and indirectly proportional to wavelength.

So as the wavelength increases frequency decreases and as the wavelength decreases frequency increases.

Hope you understood

   work done by the gravity = ?          

   work done by the tension = ?            

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh            

 Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m                                                                

Work done by the gravity =- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4

                                           = -117.6 J                  

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J            

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.        

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

What causes long sightedness?how is it corrected.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Long sight occurs when the eyeball is too short or the lens is too thin, or both. As a result, light rays from near objects are focused behind the retina because the light rays are not converged enough. The image formed on the retina is therefore out of focus.

To correct this problem, people can wear glasses with convex lenses. Light rays from near objects are converged by the convex lenses before entering the eyes, so that light can be focused on the retina to form a sharp image. Additionally, long sight can also be corrected by surgical methods such as LASIK.

The AC voltage source is connected to an inductor and a resistor in series. If the frequency of the source is increased the curr
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

Explanation:

The current through the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{Z}

Where;

V is the voltage in the AC circuit

Z is the impedance

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}

Where;

R is the resistance

X_L is the inductive reactance

X_L = ωL = 2πfL

where;

L is the inductance

f is the frequency of the source

Finally, the current in the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (2\pi fL)^2} }

From the equation above, an increase in frequency (f) will cause a decrease in current (I).

Therefore, If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.
