If the frequency of a wave is increased by 25 %, then the change in its wavelength will be:(medium not changed)(A) 20% increase17.(B)20% decrease(C) 25% increase(D) 25% decrease

Answer» <p>wavelength = v/f </p><p>now when f is increased by 1.25f </p><p>=&gt; now, wavelength = v/1.25f = 100v/125f = 4v/5f</p><p>so, new wavelength = 4/5*(old wavelength) =&gt; % decrement = (1-4/5)*100% = 100/5 = 20% </p>
