What happens to wavelength as the frequency of a wave increases?
|
|
increase
|
|
|
stays the same
|
|
|
decreases
|
|
|
becomes faster
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. The wave with the greatest frequency has the shortest wavelength.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wave speed equals frequency*wavelength. So doubling the frequency must halve the wavelength in order for wave speed to remain the same.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.
