Question

What happens to the frequency when the wavelength increases

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency decrease

Explanation:

The frequency, f and wavelength, λ are inverstly propotional. You can see from the equation below :

v = λ f ,

λ = $\frac{v}{f}$

thus, based on the eqaution above we know that

λ = $\frac{1}{f}$

as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases

Answer 2

When the wavelength increases then the frequency decrease more wave crests passed at the fixed point per second. Inversely the same will be repeated vice versa.

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of waves that pass a particular point. If a wave is oscillating at a high speed,  it is said to have a high frequency. More the number of waves passing  a point, the more the frequency.

The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs.  Wavelength is also a significant characteristic of a wave.  When the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Therefore, they are inversely  proportional.
