Describe what would happen to the frequency of this wave if the wavelength is increased to 10, but the speed stays the same at 600 MS
If the wavelength of the wave is increased to 10 units while the speed remains constant at 600 units per second, the frequency of the wave would decrease. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely related in a wave, meaning that as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and vice versa.
The equation that relates frequency (f), wavelength (λ), and speed (v) of a wave is:
v = f * λ
Given that the speed of the wave remains constant at 600 units per second, if the wavelength increases to 10 units, the frequency would be:
f = v / λ
f = 600 / 10
f = 60 units per second
Therefore, the frequency of the wave would decrease to 60 units per second.
