The velocity of a wave:
The distance between successive crests is the wavelength. When the wavelength is changed the frequency will also change.
If you decrease the distance between successive crests of a wave, this changes
A. the frequency
B. the wavelength
C. the speed
D. both the wavelength and the speed
E. both the wavelength and the frequency
