Question

Doubling the frequency of a sound wave within a uniform (unchanging) medium will _________. Select all that apply.a- halve the amplitude of the waveb- halve the wavelength of the wavec- double the speed of the waved- halve the speed of the wavee- double the amplitude of the wavef- double the wavelength of the wave

Answer 1

b- halve the wavelength of the wave

Explanation:

We have that the speed of a wave is dependent upon the properties of the medium through which the wave is moving. An alteration in the properties of the medium will result in a change in the speed at which the wave moves through that medium.

That is to say that when changing frequency, what changes is the wavelength.

They are inverse, so when the frequency doubles, the wavelength is divided in half.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

b- halve the wavelength of the wave
