Impedance and Frequency- directly or indirectly related?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between impedance and frequency, with a focus on the formula Z = p/v, where Z represents impedance, p is pressure, and v is velocity. The user posits that impedance is inversely proportional to frequency, leading to confusion regarding the specific context of impedance being referenced. Clarification is sought on whether the impedance in question pertains to electromagnetic waves or physical tension waves, highlighting the necessity for precise definitions in scientific discussions.

Impedance and Frequency- directly or indirectly related?


I think it's inversely. Am I correct?
Let Impedance =Z
p==pressure
v=velocity

Z = p/v and v=f(lamda)

So Z= p / (f(lamda))

Isn't Impedance inversely proportional to frequency?

Yeah, I was totally confused by your initial thread:

In general, we discourage double-posting here on the PF, but we'll let you get away with it this time if you DEFINE WHAT THE HECK YOU MEAN BY IMPEDANCE. Is it the characteristic impedance for a freely propagating EM wave, or some quantity for a physical tension wave propagating on a string or what?

You need to be more specific in your problem statement. Please.
