well i ll tell u one formula v=nxlambda velocity n=freequency now see the relation if u take velcoity a constant $n \alpha 1/\lambda$

2. anonymous

frequency is basically how many cycles per second the wavelength performs. So with music when you play a middle A, for example, it might have 440 cycles per second, and when you play an octave above it, the frequency (cycles per second of the wave) increases by a factor of 2, to 880 cps. This shortens the wavelength, because the cycles are more frequent. So your answer would be (c). Some more cool things to look at are: amplitude and tambre.

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. frequency is inversely prop to wavelenth.. $nu=c /\lambda$
