What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in a given medium? Options: A . &nbspWavelength is directly proportional to frequency B . &nbspWavelength is inversely proportional to frequency C . &nbspFrequency is twice the wavelength D . &nbspWavelength is twice the frequency

Answer: Option B : B λ = v f where: λ : Wavelength f : Frequency v : Speed of light in the given medium In a medium, speed is constant. ⟹ λ ∝ 1 f Hence, wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency in a medium.

Question

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in a given medium?

Options:

A . Wavelength is directly proportional to frequency

B . Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency

C . Frequency is twice the wavelength

D . Wavelength is twice the frequency

Answer: Option B
:
B

λ = \frac{v}{f}

where:

λ :

Wavelength

f :

Frequency

v :

Speed of light in the given medium
In a medium, speed is constant.

⟹ λ \propto \frac{1}{f}

Hence, wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency in a medium.
