What change takes place in a wave when the frequency of the wave increases?

A.fewer wavelengths pass a given point per second

B.no change occurs in the number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second

C.a greater number of wavelengths pass a given point per second

D.the number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second doubles

Respuesta :

The answer is C. As the frequency of the waves increases, a greater number of wavelengths pass a given point per second. From the wave formula, we see that there is an indirect relationship between frequency and the wavelength. thus, as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases resulting to a smaller distance between the waves which will show greater number of wavelengths between waves.
