Answer;
Velocity and wavelength are directly proportional when frequency is kept constant.
Explanation;
- Frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations made by a given wave in one second.
- Wavelength on the other hand, is the distance between two successful crests or troughs in a transverse wave or two successful rarefactions or compressions in a longitudinal waves.
- The speed of a wave is given by the product of the frequency of a wave and the wavelength.
- Speed = Frequency × wavelength,
- Therefore, if frequency is kept constant, then the speed of a wave is directly proportional to the wavelength, such that an increase in wavelength increases the speed of the wave and vice versa.
