Question

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. (2 points)

Answer 1

If the length of the wave gets longer but the speed stays the same, then the frequency of the wave would have to decrease because there would be fewer waves passing by in a given amount of time.
