Which formula correctly represents the relationship between frequency wavelength and speed of a wave?
A
v equals f divided by wavelength
B
v equals wavelength divided by f
C
v equals f times wavelength
D
f equals v times wavelength
Correct Answer: Option C — v equals f times wavelength
Explanation:
The wave equation states that wave speed v equals frequency f multiplied by wavelength lambda showing that for a given medium as frequency increases wavelength decreases proportionally.
