Question

If two transverse waves have the same wavelength, the wave with the __________ has the greatest wave speed.
A. smaller amplitude
B. greater frequency
C. smaller frequency
D. greater amplitude

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Greater Frequency

Explanation:

Wave speed can be calculated using the following formula:

v = f x λ

where v is the wave speed, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

If both waves have the same wavelength, then the wave with the greater frequency (i.e., the wave that passes by a fixed point the most often) has the greatest wave speed.

The amplitude of the wave does not affect its speed.

Answer 2

Answer:

Greater frequency
