A wave travels at a constant speed.How does the frequency change if the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3 The frequency dec
1 answer:
Answer:
The frequency increases by a factor of 3.
Explanation:
The relation between speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by :
or
A wave travels at a constant speed. If the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3, it would mean that the frequency increases by a factor of 3 because there is an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.

They are related as
- In a uniform circular motion, the magnitude of the speed does not change during the travel and only the instantaneous direction changes.
- This speed is always directed along the tangent to the circle at a given point. (refer to the figure attached)
- For any circular motion, the must-have acceleration is the centripetal acceleration that is directed towards the centre of the circular locus (if the motion has a tangential acceleration, it has a tangential acceleration additionally).
- Therefore, both the directions of the tangential speed and the centripetal acceleration are orthogonal to each other (perpendicular: one is 90 degrees apart from the other).
- In mathematics, 2 vectors (
,
) that are perpendicular to each other have a quality that their dot product (
) equal to zero vector (
) which is written as
.
- This quality can be considered when dealing with the velocity vector and the acceleration vector in a manner
