If the frequency of a wave is doubled, its wavelength (at constant speed) becomes?

JEST Past Papers / All — Multiple-choice practice

اگر کسی موج کی فریکوئنسی کو دوگنا کر دیا جائے (رفتار مستقل ہو)، تو اس کی طولِ موج کیا ہو گی؟

  1. A. Zero
  2. B. None of these
  3. C. Halved
  4. D. Unchanged

Correct answer

Halved

Explanation

Explanation Wave speed is given by v = fλ . If speed remains constant, frequency and wavelength are inversely related. So, when frequency increases, wavelength decreases. If frequency is doubled, wavelength becomes half. This is a basic wave relation in physics. Last verified on 12-04-2026
