🔬 Everyday Science

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if its frequency doubles (speed remains constant)?

A Wavelength doubles
B Wavelength halves
C Wavelength stays the same
D Wavelength triples

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

v = fλ. If v is constant and f doubles, then λ must halve. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "What happens to the wavelength of a wave if its frequency doubles (speed remains constant)?" is Option B: Wavelength halves.

The other options — A) Wavelength doubles, C) Wavelength stays the same, D) Wavelength triples — are incorrect for this Everyday Science question. As explained above: v = fλ. If v is constant and f doubles, then λ must halve. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
