General properties of waves — practice question

A water wave in a shallow tank travels through an opening in a barrier. What happens to the wave speed, and what happens to the wavelength, as the wave passes through the opening?

  • Aspeed decreases, wavelength decreases
  • Bspeed decreases, wavelength remains constant
  • Cspeed remains constant, wavelength decreases
  • Dspeed remains constant, wavelength remains constant
