Answer : The wave A has the shortest wave length.

Explanation :

As we know that there is an inverse relationship between the wavelength and the frequency.


\\u \propto (1)/(\lambda)

From this we conclude that the higher the frequency, lower will be the wavelength of the wave and vice-versa.

From the given waves, wave A has the shortest wavelength and wave D has the longest wavelength.

Hence, the wave A has the shortest wave length.
