Question

When we increase the wavelength of a wave, the frequency

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Remains constant
  4. Becomes zero

hintHint:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.

The correct answer is: Decreases


    • Frequency= Wave velocity/wavelength
    • Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.
    • Therefore, increasing the wavelength decreases it's frequency.
    • So, the correct option is b.
