Step-by-step explanation:

The satement that can be made about sound wave A and sound wave B is, they will slow down.

Relationship between sound wave and temperature

The relationship between sound waves and temperature is given by the following formula;

v= √γRT

The speed of sound wave increases with increase in temperature, and vice versa.

Speed of sound wave in liquid and gaseous medium

Sound wave is mechanical wave, because it requires material medium for its propagation. Sound will travel faster in liquid medium than gaseous medium because of number of molecules per unit volume.

Thus, the satement that can be made about sound wave A and sound wave B is, they will slow down.
