  1. a


  2. A.  When you triple the frequency of the waves, you reduce the wavelength by a factor of three.  

  3. The relationship between frequency and wavelength is given by the formula c = frequency x wavelength

    Therefore frequency = c / wavelength i.e. wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.

    So, as frequency x 3, wavelength x 1/3

    Answer is c


  4. If frequency triples, wavelength will become one third (c).
