Interpretation : The wavelength of a wave changes if the frequency of the wave is multiplied by 1.5 is to be described.
Concept Introduction : The separation between the crests is known as the wavelength.
The wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.
Answer to Problem 68A
The wavelength of a wave decreases by 1.5 if the frequency of the wave is multiplied by 1.5
Explanation of Solution
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given as
Where,
The frequency is how often waves cycle through a specific point in a unit of time.
If the frequency is multiplied by 1.5, then the wavelength is decreased by 1.5.
This is because the frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.
