Question

How does wavelength change as frequency increases? A) Wavelength increases as frequency increases. B) Wavelength decreases as frequency increases. C) Wavelength is unaffected as frequency increases. D) Wavelength increases or decreases depending on how quickly frequency increases.

Answer 1

Wavelength decreases as frequency increases

Answer 2

Answer:  Wavelength decreases as frequency increases (Option B)

Explanation:

V = f λ

V is the speed

F is the frequency  

λ is wavelength  

If we look at the above equation, it can be deduced that frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to one another.  This means that if the frequency increases the wavelength deceases

Frequency is the number of cycles made per second. Wavelength is the distance between two crests or troughs.
