The formula vw=f⋅λ

describes the relationship between the speed of a wave ( vw
), and its frequency ( f
) and wavelength ( λ
).

For example, if a wave has a frequency of 120 Hz and a wavelength of 5m, it would have a speed of 600 m/s.

In one or two sentences, describe what would happen to the frequency of this wave if the wavelength is increased to 10m but the speed stays the same at 600 m/s.

(2 points)

If the wavelength of the wave is increased to 10m while the speed remains at 600 m/s, the frequency of the wave would decrease.
