In an experiment using a ripple tank the frequency, f, of the electric pulse generator was reduced to one third of its value

In an experiment using a ripple tank the frequency, f, of the electric pulse generator was reduced to one third of its value. How does the new wavelength compare with the initial wavelength? Explain your answer.

Answers


John
Velocity, v = Frequency, f x wavelength,

Let wavelength1 = initial wavelength and wavelength2 = final wavelength

Then v = f wavelength1 and v = $\frac{f}{3}wavelength_2$

This means that the wavelength increases three times
