Question

What happens to the waves as you increase or decrease the frequency?

Answer 1

In a given medium the velocity of a wave is always constant. This means that if the wavelength increases the frequency will decrease and if the frequency increases the wavelength will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

`\lambda` = Wavelength

f = Frequency

Velocity

`v=f\lambda`

`f=(v)/(\lambda)`

`\lambda=(v)/(f)`

In a given medium the velocity of a wave is always constant. This means that if the wavelength increases the frequency will decrease and if the frequency increases the wavelength will decrease. This is true for any wave whether sound or electromagnetic.
