a. As the wavelength of a wave in a uniform medium increases, its speed will _____.
a. decrease
b. increase
c. remain the same
The correct answer is c?? I thought that the change in wavelength always incrases the speed of the medium? What does it mean by uniform medium? Can anyone of the variables in the equation [tex]v=f*\lambda[/tex] remain constant? Can 2 of the variables remain constant?
Btw, I got this problem from: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSCI/PHYS/Class/waves/u10l2e.html
