Question

As ocean waves approach shore, their velocity decreases. How does a decrease in velocity affect the frequency and wavelength of the waves
entering the shallow water?
A
frequency increases and wavelength decreases
B. frequency decreases and wavelength increases
C. frequency stays the same and wavelength increases
D.
frequency stays the same and wavelength decreases

Answer 1

Answer:

D .Frequency stays the same and wavelength decreases .

Explanation:

Due to friction between shore and waves ,  the velocity of waves decreases while reaching the shores . As v = fλ, either frequency or wavelength should decrease. As frequency is the property of the source , it will stay constant and wavelength only decreases .

Answer 2

Answer:

its C because i did the test on edmentum/ Plato
