General properties of waves — practice question

A water wave enters an area where it moves at a lower speed. As it enters the slower area, what happens to the frequency, and what happens to the wavelength of the wave?

  • Afrequency decreases; wavelength remains the same
  • Bfrequency increases; wavelength remains the same
  • Cfrequency remains the same; wavelength decreases
  • Dfrequency remains the same; wavelength increases
