General properties of waves — practice question

A water wave moves into a region where the wave travels more slowly. As it enters the slower region, 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
