If the velocity and frequency of a wave are both doubled, how does the wavelength change?

The wavelength will remain unchanged.

Explanation:

The velocity [tex]v[/tex] of a wave in terms of its wavelength [tex]\lambda[/tex] and frequency [tex]\nu[/tex] is

[tex]v = \lambda\nu[/tex] (1)

so if we double both the velocity and the frequency, the equation above becomes

[tex]2v = \lambda(2\nu)[/tex] (2)

Solving for the wavelength from Eqn(2), we get

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{2v}{2\nu} = \dfrac{v}{\nu}[/tex]

We would have gotten the same result had we used Eqn(1) instead.
