Answer:
When there is an increase in the frequency of sound waves, the wavelength decreases.
Explanation:
Given data,
The frequency of the whale changes from 200 Hz to 300 Hz
The formula for frequency and wavelength is,
λ = v/f
Where v is the velocity of the sound waves in water (1531 m/s)
The wavelength at 200 Hz is,
λ = 1531/200
= 7.655 m
The wavelength at 300 Hz is,
λ = 1531/300
= 5.1 m
Hence, when there is an increase in the frequency of sound waves, the wavelength decreases.
