Which statement is correct regarding the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and amplitude?

• Wavelength is directly proportional to the wave's frequency, while amplitude affects the amount of energy delivered by the wave.

• Wavelength is inversely proportional to the wave's frequency, while amplitude affects the amount of energy delivered by the wave.

• Amplitude and wavelength are directly related to each other while frequency determines the type of radiation produced.

• Wavelength determines the type of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, while amplitude and frequency determine the energy or intensity of the radiation.
