Does frequency affect wave speed?

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
We know that,
$c = f λ$
Where $c$ is the speed of light having constant, $f$ is the frequency and $λ$ is the wavelength.
As the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases but the speed remains constant because the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength and the speed of light has a constant value.
Hence, the frequency of the wave does not affect the speed
