To determine which student is correct regarding the relationship between wavelength and frequency, let's consider the fundamental relationship in physics:
Wavelength and frequency are inversely related. This means that an increase in wavelength will result in a decrease in frequency, while a decrease in wavelength will result in an increase in frequency.
Now, let's analyze each student's statement:
- Darius: Wavelength increases and frequency increases. (Incorrect)
- Kathryn: Wavelength increases and frequency remains the same. (Incorrect)
- Anya: Wavelength decreases and frequency increases. (Correct)
- Franco: Wavelength remains the same and frequency decreases. (This can be ambiguous because if wavelength remains the same, frequency cannot decrease unless there is another factor involved, but generally for fixed wavelength, frequency stays constant. (Potentially incorrect)
The student who correctly describes the relationship is Anya.
