Question

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
As the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength increases.
As the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength decreases.
As the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength remains constant.

Answer 1

The correct statement is- "As the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength decreases".

• The frequency and the wavelength of a wave are inversely related to each other.
• This simply means that when one of them increases the other must decrease.
• This can easily be understood by the formula,

        ν = $v$/λ

        where ν is the frequency,

                    $v$ is the speed,   (which is constant for a given medium)

            and λ is the wavelength.

So, we can conclude that, if the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.

Answer 2

Answer:

As the frequency of a wave increases, the wavelength is shorter."

Or aka for my lazy people the answer is B
