What happens to the wavelength of a wave as the frequency increases?

• wavelength increases

• wavelength decreases

• wavelength is unchanged

What is the relationship between amplitude and energy?

• As energy increases, amplitude decreases

• Energy does not affect amplitude

• As energy increases, amplitude increases

• The particles are the most spread out

• The particles have heated up

• The particles have cooled down
