Correct option A

The wave speed remains constant.So if the frequency increases then wavelength increases and if frequency decreases then wavelength increases to maintain the constant wave speed.

Answer: The correct answer is " because the wave speed remains constant".

Explanation:

The expression of the wavelength in terms of the frequency is as follows;

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}

Here, c is the speed of the light, f is the frequency of the wave and \lambda is the wavelength of the wave.

The wavelength of the wave is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave as the speed of the wave remains constant.

If the wavelength of the wave decreases then the frequency of the wave increases.

Therefore, the frequency of a wave increases as the wavelength decreases because the wave speed remains constant.

The correct option is (A).

Is energy made or lost over time
Ann [662]

Well basically in physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant, it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.


Hope this helps (:

A 7.1 resistor and a 4.8 resistor are connected in series with a battery. the potential difference across the 4.8 resistor is me
Taya2010 [7]
For resistors in series in a DC circuit, the potential difference is proportional to the resistance.

The voltage V across the 7.1 ohm resistor can be found from the proportion
   V/7.1 = 12/4.8
   V = 7.1*12/4.8 = 17.75

The potential difference at the battery terminals is the sum of the potential differences across the two series resistors.
   Vbatt = 17.75 V + 12 V
   Vbatt = 29.75 V

If you ride your bike at an average speed of 2 km/h and need to travel a total distance of 20 km, how long will it take you to r
love history [14]

Answer:

Time taken to reach your destination will be 10hours

Explanation:

Recall the formula for Speed;

speed=Total distance/Total time taken

Speed=2km/h

Total distance=20km

Time taken=x

let x be the unknown time taken

Input each values into the formula;

2=20/x

Making x subject of the equation

x=20/2

x=10

Total time taken =10hours.
