What is the relationship between frequency and speed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

velocity = frequency * wavelength of the wave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do want me to explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if frequency increases then the speed also increases if the wavelength stays the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought when frequency increases wavelength is smaller????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v=2*(pi)*r*f

OpenStudy (anonymous):

coz omega= 2*(pi)*f and v=omega*r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats what happens in realistic situations, so the velocity stays the same if wavelength and frequency both are variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

speed=wavelength/ time i.e. speed=wavelength*frequency

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s= λf
