Question
high frequency waves have _________ wavelength. options: high, the same, low, varying. (with an image showing different wave graphs: quieter, louder, longer pitch, higher pitch)
In wave physics, frequency (\(f\)) and wavelength (\(\lambda\)) are related by the formula \(v = f\lambda\) (where \(v\) is the wave speed, constant for a medium). As frequency increases, wavelength decreases (inverse relationship). High - frequency waves (more cycles per unit length, like the "Higher pitch" graph with more waves) have shorter (low) wavelength.
