- 6. Multiple Choice
Which statement correctly describes the relationship between wavelength and frequency?
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases because more waves pass a point each second.
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases because fewer waves pass a point each second.
As wavelength increases, frequency increases because more waves pass a point each second.
As wavelength increases, frequency increases because fewer waves pass a point each second.
