Students created a drawing to represent waves traveling along a slinky spring.
Which of the following accurately describes the properties of a wave if the students decided to increase the energy transmitted by the wave?
A) The frequency of the wave would increase and the wavelength would decreases
B) The frequency of the wave would decrease and the wavelength would increases
Eliminate
C) The frequency of the wave would increase and the wavelength would increases
D) The frequency of the wave would decrease and the wavelength would decreases
Since you're increasing the energy, the frequency would start increasing. The wavelength would start decreasing, since you're putting more energy into the slinky and making it go faster and faster.
