Question

multiple choice question
how are wavelength and frequency related?
o inversely
o wavelength and frequency are not related.
o directly

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the wave equation

The wave equation is \(v = f\lambda\), where \(v\) is the wave speed, \(f\) is the frequency, and \(\lambda\) is the wavelength. Assuming the wave speed \(v\) is constant (for a given medium and type of wave), we can rewrite the equation as \(f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\).

Step2: Analyze the relationship

From \(f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\), when \(v\) is constant, if \(\lambda\) increases, \(f\) decreases and vice - versa. This is an inverse relationship.

Answer:

inversely
