Concept explainers
The correct option.
Answer to Problem 34R
The correct option is D.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
If frequency increases the wavelength decreases and if frequency decreases the wavelength increases.
Mathematically it can be expressed as,
Here,
From the formula it is clear that the wavelength will change so option A is incorrect.
There is inverse relation between frequency and wavelength so option B is incorrect and option c is also incorrect since the formula explains the inverse relation.
So if frequency of vibrating decreases the wavelength increases.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option is D.
