Responses
The wavelength decreases.
The wavelength decreases.
The wavelength increases
The wavelength increases
The wavelength increases if the speed increases
The wavelength increases if the speed increases
The wavelength stays the same
The correct answer is: "The wavelength decreases."
When the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because the speed of a wave is constant in a given medium. The speed of a wave can be calculated by multiplying the frequency of the wave by its wavelength. Since the speed remains constant, when the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease in order to maintain the same speed. This behavior is known as the inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength.
