Question

The frequency of a wave describes the number of vibrations that occur per unit time. The wavelength of a wave measures the distance between corresponding points on successive vibrations.

How are the frequency and the wavelength of a wave traveling at a constant speed related?
A.
inversely; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength
B.
directly; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength
C.
inversely; the higher the frequency, the longer the wavelength
D.
directly; the higher the frequency, the longer the wavelength

Answer 1

B. Directly; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.

Explanation: speed/velocity of wave propagation (v) = frequency(n) × wavelength(λ)
