If the period of the oscillator is doubled, then the wavelength of
the waves coming out of it also doubles. 

There's no effect on the wave speed ... that only depends on
the medium that the waves are being radiated into.

If the period of the oscillator were doubled, the wavelength and the speed of the wave will reduce by 2.

The period of oscillation is given as;

\(T = \frac{2\pi }{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r }{v} =\frac{2\pi r }{f\lambda}\)

where;

  • ω is the angular speed
  • v is the linear speed
  • λ is the wavelength
  • f is the frequency of the wave

The period of the oscillator, wavelength and speed of the wave are inversely proportional.

Thus, from the equation above we can conclude that if the period of the oscillator were doubled, the wavelength and the speed of the wave will reduce by 2.
