The velocity of a given wave remains the same while the wavelength increases. What happens to the frequency of the wave?
1 answer:
Answer:
B. It decreases proportionally to the wavelength
Explanation:
The relationship between wavelength, velocity, and frequency of a wave is given as;
where;
f is the frequency of the wave
v is the velocity of the wave
λ is the wavelength
From the equation above, the frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and vice versa.
Therefore, the correct option is "B"
