Question (Fill-In-the Blank):

As wavelength decreases the frequency of a wave _______​

Answer:

Increases

Step-by-step explanation:

When waves travel from one medium to another the frequency never changes. As waves travel into the denser medium, they slow down and wavelength decreases. Part of the wave travels faster for longer causing the wave to turn. The wave is slower but the wavelength is shorter meaning frequency remains the same.

\mathrm{wavelength \: \: (1)/( \propto) \: \: frequency }

So, As wavelength decreases the frequency of a wave Increases.
