Question

directions: sort the statement as a true or false declaration about wave properties.
as the distance between a wave’s crests or troughs decreases, the wavelength increases.
true statement false statement

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wavelength definition

Wavelength ($\lambda$) is the distance between consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.

Step2: Analyze the statement

If the distance between crests/troughs decreases, by definition, the wavelength (which is that distance) should decrease, not increase. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False Statement
