Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The shorter the wavelength
A
the higher the frequency
B
the lower the frequency
C
the higher the amplitude
D
the lower the energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength.

Detailed explanation-2: -The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency but inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means the greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter the wavelength. Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency, short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.

Detailed explanation-3: -The energy associated with a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. Hence, the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and the higher the energy of the wave.

Detailed explanation-4: -Frequency and wavelength have both direct and inverse relationships. For instance, if two waves are traveling at the same speed, they are inversely related. The wave with shorter wavelength will have a higher frequency while a longer wavelength will have a lower frequency.
