For a low-frequency the wavelength will be long. Assuming all frequencies of the waves travel at the same speed for a lower frequency it must repeat less often, which means the peaks are farther apart which describes a long wavelength

Answer:

Long

Step-by-step explanation:

In a wave, frequency and wavelength have a relationship of inverse proportionality. In fact, the equation that relates frequency and wavelength for a wave is:


\lambda=(v)/(f)

where


\lambda is the wavelength

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

In this problem, we have a wave with a low frequency: from the formule above, we see that when the frequency is low, the wavelength is long, and viceversa. So, the correct answer is

long
