Question

Which describes the relationship between the frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave as the wave travels through different media? As speed changes, wavelength changes and frequency remains constant. As speed changes, frequency changes and wavelength remains constant. As speed changes, wavelength and frequency change. As speed changes, wavelength and frequency remain constant.

Answer 1

As speed changes, wavelength changes and frequency remains constant.

Answer 2

Option (1) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between the frequency, speed and wavelength is given by

speed = frequency x wavelength

As, the speed changes, the wavelength also changes but the frequency remains constant.

The frequency of the property of source. It is defined as the number of waves coming out from the source in one second.
