Four students write their ideas about the relationship between wavelength and frequency. Which student is correct?
A. Kathryn
B. Anya
C. Franco
D. Darius
Without the specific ideas provided by each student, it is impossible to determine which student is correct.
To determine which student is correct, let's consider their ideas about the relationship between wavelength and frequency.
A. Kathryn: "As the wavelength increases, the frequency also increases."
B. Anya: "As the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases."
C. Franco: "There is no relationship between wavelength and frequency."
D. Darius: "As the wavelength decreases, the frequency decreases."
Among the four students, the correct statement can be found by considering the relationship between wavelength and frequency. According to the formula for wave speed (v = λf) where v is the wave speed, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency, we can determine that:
- As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.
- As the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases, and vice versa.
Based on this relationship, we can see that Student D, Darius, is correct with his statement that as the wavelength decreases, the frequency decreases.
