Why do waves with high frequencies have short wavelengths

Physics

dalvyx [7]3 years ago

Answer: because  ν = velocity/λ where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the relationship between frequency and wavelengths which  are related by the velocity of the wave as follows ν*λ=v where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave. These parameters have an inverse proportionality.

Then, ν = velocity/λ

Answer:

The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave comes from the equation:

v = λ*f

Where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

So if we keep the velocity constant, you can see that if we decrease the wavelength, then the frequency must increase (to contrast the decrease in the other variable)

And the same in the other direction, if the wavelength increases, then the frequency must decrease.

So for a fixed velocity, as highest is the frequency, lower will be the wavelength.

Answer:

D. The frequency is not affected as the volume of sound increases

Explanation:

Volume of the sound is defined by the amplitude of the wave or how loud a sound is whereas Frequency is basically the pitch of the sound and is inversely proportional to the wavelength . Increasing frequency will increase the pitch of the sound without affecting it's volume.

If youre walking from point a to b, the magnitude of your displacement will always be equal or less than or greater than your di
xenn [34]

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered.  But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small
Hitman42 [59]
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.
