Question
what is the relationship between the frequency of waves and their wavelength? higher frequency= shorter wavelength higher frequency = longer wavelength lower frequency = shorter wavelength
The speed of a wave is given by the product of its frequency ($f$) and wavelength ($\lambda$), i.e., $v = f\lambda$. For a wave traveling at a constant speed (in a given medium), when the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease to maintain the constant - speed relationship, and vice - versa.
