The frequency of a transverse wave increases, but its speed remains constant. How does this influence the wave’s wavelength and the amount of energy carried by the wave?

• Both the wavelength and the energy carried by the wave increase

• Both the wavelength and the energy carried by the wave decrease

• The wavelength decreases, and the energy carried by the wave increases

• The wavelength increases, and the energy carried by the wave decreases
