General properties of waves — practice question

During a ripple tank experiment, plane wavefronts reach a plane surface. Which row correctly describes the waves after reflection from the surface?

  • Aspeed of waves: larger; wavelength $\lambda$: shorter
  • Bspeed of waves: smaller; wavelength $\lambda$: shorter
  • Cspeed of waves: the same; wavelength $\lambda$: longer
  • Dspeed of waves: the same; wavelength $\lambda$: the same
