Four students write their ideas about the relationship between wavelength and frequency Which student is correct?
Franco
O Kathryn
O Anya
O Danus
(1 point)
All four students could be correct, depending on what their ideas are.
Well wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. I have no idea what your choices are.
Unfortunately, without knowing the ideas written by each student, it is not possible to determine which student is correct.
In order to determine which student is correct regarding the relationship between wavelength and frequency, we need to understand this relationship ourselves.
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is described by the equation:
c = λ * f
where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.
Now, let's analyze the statements made by each student:
Franco: "As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases."
Kathryn: "As the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases."
Anya: "There is no relationship between wavelength and frequency."
Danus: No statement provided.
Now, let's evaluate each statement and assess its correctness:
Franco's statement suggests an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency. According to his statement, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. This is incorrect because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As the wavelength increases, the frequency should decrease, and vice versa. Therefore, Franco's statement is incorrect.
Kathryn's statement correctly suggests that as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases. This is in line with the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency. Therefore, Kathryn's statement is correct.
Anya's statement suggests that there is no relationship between wavelength and frequency. This is incorrect because, as we mentioned earlier, there is indeed a relationship between the two. Therefore, Anya's statement is incorrect.
Danus's statement is not provided, so we cannot assess its correctness.
Based on the analysis above, Kathryn is the only student whose statement about the relationship between wavelength and frequency is correct.
