Use the table to answer the question. Student Wavelength Frequency Darius increase increase Kathryn increase remain the same Anya decrease increase Franco remain the same decrease Four students write their ideas about the relationship between wavelength and frequency. Which student is correct? (1 point) Responses Anya Anya Darius Darius Franco Franco Kathryn

1 answer

To determine which student is correct regarding the relationship between wavelength and frequency, we need to recall the fundamental relationship between these two concepts in wave physics: wavelength and frequency are inversely related. This means that when the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.

Based on the information from the table:

  • Darius: Wavelength increases — Frequency increases (This is incorrect; if wavelength increases, frequency should decrease.)
  • Kathryn: Wavelength increases — Frequency remains the same (This is also incorrect; frequency should change if wavelength changes.)
  • Anya: Wavelength decreases — Frequency increases (This is correct; if the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.)
  • Franco: Wavelength remains the same — Frequency decreases (This is incorrect; if the wavelength remains the same, frequency should not decrease.)

Given these evaluations, Anya is the only student whose statement is correct regarding the relationship between wavelength and frequency.

Therefore, the correct response is: Anya.
