The frequency of a wave: A. increases with increasing period. B. decreases with increasing period. C. increases with increasing wavelength. D. a and c only.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Hint: by definition of frquency f and period T of a wave, we have: \[f = \frac{1}{T}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I don't get it....

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: if T is increasing then the number 1/T will decrease

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There s an inverse relation between T and frequency ,. Inverse proportionality shows that if one value is incresing the other must be decreasing or vice versa ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. The frequency of a wave decreases with increase in wavelength at constant wave velocity (because Frequency=velocity/wavelength) 2. The frequency decreases with increase in time period (because frequency=1/time period).
