Question 4 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A (SC301)

How does increasing frequency affect the crests of a wave?

Answer
A
They get higher.
B
They get closer together.
C
They get lower.
D
They get farther apart.

Explanation

For a wave traveling at the same speed, increasing its frequency decreases its wavelength, since wave speed equals frequency times wavelength. A shorter wavelength means neighboring crests are closer together, so the correct choice is “They get closer together.”
