If the wavelength of a sound source is reduced by a factor of 2, what happens to the waves frequency? What happens to its speed?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to understand the relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (f), and speed (v) of a wave. The relationship is given by the formula: \[ v = f \times \lambda \] Where: - \( v \) is the speed of the wave, - \( f \) is the frequency of the wave, - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the wave. ...
