If the wavelength of the wave is increased to 10 meters while the speed remains constant at 600 m/s, the frequency would decrease. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely related when speed is constant, as described by the formula \( v = f \cdot \lambda \).
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.
