Which relates the wavelength and frequency of a wave?

The frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second.

A wavelength is the distance on a wave between one frequency and the next.

The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is the frequency.

The speed at which a wavelength travels is the frequency of the wave.

Answer:

The correct answer is - The frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point or one crest to another crest of a wave. The frequency of the wave is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second. A period is the amount of time one wavelength requires to pass a point.

Frequency = 1/wavelength, which means if one increases other decreases.

Thus, the correct answer is - The frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point in a second.
