Halve the frequency of the wave.
You can either halve the wavelength, keeping the wave speed constant; or double the wave speed, keeping the wavelength constant.
The wavelength would double.
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)
You actually answered your own question. The wavelength remains the same since it is stated as part of the problem. However, the frequency, which I am betting you are more interested in will double. The frequency is releated to the wavelength and the speed of the wave by the following equation f = v/l where f is the frequency, v is the speed, and l is the wavelength. So if the velocity doubles and the wavelength is constant, then the frequency will double.

Wavelength = 1/frequency. If you double the frequency, the wavelength drops to half.
Speed = wavelength x frequency, so wavelength = speed / frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Double the frequency means half the wavelength.

If the frequency becomes double what it was, then the wavelength becomes 1/2 of what it was.
Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.
Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.

you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
