An oscillator creates periodic waves on a stretched string.
If the period of the oscillator doubles, what happens to the wavelength and wave speed?

a. The wavelength doubles but the wave speed is unchanged.
b. The wavelength is halved but the wave speed is unchanged.
c. The wavelength is unchanged but the wave speed doubles.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. The wavelength doubles but the wave speed is unchanged

Explanation:

The relationship between the period and wavelength is direct. Doubling the period of the oscillator will correspondingly double the wavelength but the wave speed is unaffected
