Question

16. Predict how the wavelength and frequency of a wave would change if the amount of energy it carried was increased.

Please use at least THREE content related sentences. (ref: 138).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency is related to the energy carried by the wave, the higher the energy the faster it oscilates and the higher the frequency. The wavelenght is the distance between two consecutive valleys of a wave. It's inversely proportional to the frequency, therefore if the frequency increases with the energy, the wavelength decreases.

Answer 2

1.- The energy of a wave will increase the frequency due to the increase in the speed of the wave.

2.- The wavelength will increase if the energy of the wave increases, due to the area that is expand.

3.- A wave with a higher frequency will have faster speed to move.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength of a wave is due to the speed and the energy that the wavelength carry, so if the energy increases, this quantity of energy need to distribute or in the wavelength or in the frequency, to conduct the wave with a bigger amount of energy.
