When the frequency of a wave decreases the_______ of the wave increases

1 answer

When the frequency of a wave decreases, the wavelength of the wave increases. This relationship is described by the equation \( v = f \lambda \), where \( v \) is the wave speed, \( f \) is the frequency, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength. If the speed of the wave remains constant and the frequency decreases, the wavelength must increase to satisfy the equation.
