Concept explainers
The explanation that how the frequency of a wave changes when the period of the wave increases.
Answer to Problem 14R
The frequency of a wave decreases when the period of the wave increases.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Period is inversely related to frequency.
Period is inversely proportional to frequency. The increase in frequency results into decrease in time period and the decrease in frequency results into the increase of time period. So if the period of wave increases, the frequency of wave decreases.
Conclusion:
Thus, the frequency of a wave decreases when the period of the wave increases.
