A student generates transverse mechanical waves along a stretched spring during a physical science demonstration in Ann Arbor. If wave speed stays constant while frequency increases, what happens to wavelength?

The wavelength decreases because wave frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. The wavelength increases because frequency and wavelength are directly proportional. The wavelength remains unchanged regardless of vibration frequency. The wavelength doubles immediately as frequency increases.

Correct Answer:

The wavelength decreases because wave frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.
