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.

1 answer

In this scenario, if the wavelength of the wave is increased to 10 meters but the speed remains the same at 600 m/s, the frequency of the wave would decrease.

The relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (f), and speed (v) of a wave is given by the equation:

v = λ * f

Since the speed of the wave is constant at 600 m/s, and the wavelength is increased to 10 meters, the frequency can be calculated as:

600m/s = 10m * f

f = 600m/s / 10m

f = 60 Hz

Hence, the frequency of the wave would decrease to 60 Hz.
