If the wavelength of the wave is increased to 10 meters while keeping the speed at 600 m/s, the frequency will decrease. This is because frequency and wavelength are related: when one goes up, the other goes down if the speed stays the same. With a longer wavelength, there are fewer wave cycles in the same amount of time, which means the frequency is lower. So, more distance between waves means fewer waves pass by in a second.
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. Put in verry simple words and do 3-4 sentences
