Water waves approaching the shore will slow down. Which statement describes another change that occurs?(1 point)

Question

Responses

The wavelength increases.
The wavelength increases.

The wavelength decreases.
The wavelength decreases.

The frequency increases.
The frequency increases.

The frequency decreases.

Answer 1

As water waves approach the shore and slow down, the wavelength decreases. This is because the wave speed decreases while the frequency remains constant (assuming no change in the source of the waves). Therefore, the correct statement is:

The wavelength decreases.
