What is the relation between wavelength, frequency and velocity ?

  • A.Velocity of wave = wavelength/frequency
  • B.Velocity of wave = frequency/wavelength
  • C.Velocity of wave = frequency * wavelength
  • D.None of above

Answer: C

The relation is velocity = frequency × wavelength.

\[v = f\lambda\] In a given medium the speed is fixed, so frequency and wavelength vary inversely. When a wave passes into another medium the frequency stays the same - it is set by the source - and the wavelength changes with the speed.
