Two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. If wave X has a greater frequency than wave Y, then wave X

Respuesta :

Answer:

Wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

The relation between the speed of a wave, its wavelength and frequency is given by :

[tex]v=f\lambda[/tex]

It can be seen that the relationship between the frequency and wavelength is inverse.

In this problem, it is mentioned that two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. The frequency of wave X is greater than wave Y. Then it would mean that wave X have shorter wavelength than wave Y (due to inverse relation).
