Change interval in Setinterval

I'm new to jQuery, I wanted to change the interval in Setinterval every time it gets executed. But in my code it's executed every 1 sec and not incrementing at all

Here's my code,

 <script>
     var time=1000;
        function myFunction() {

         setInterval(function(){ alert("Hello"); }, time);
         time=time+4000;
    }
  </script>

I think I'm getting this concept wrong, any help with brief explanation where I'm doing wrong will be helpful

setInterval is called till its stopped.

What you should use if you want variable timer is setTimeout.

 <script>
     var time=1000;
        function myFunction() {

         setTimeout(function(){ alert("Hello"); myFunction() }, time);
         time=time+4000; // seconds
    }
  </script>
