Question

Two waves travel at the same speed, but one has a larger period. What other parameter/s would be affected by this? (Check all that apply)

The larger period would leave to a smaller wavelength.

The larger period would lead to a smaller frequency.

The smaller period would lead to a larger wavelength.

The larger period would lead to a larger frequency.


explain please (two answers)

Answer 1

The SMALLER period would lead to a larger wavelength.

The larger period would lead to SMALLER FREQUENCY.

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller periods will have larger wavelengths because their periods move more as opposed to a larger period that won't move as much. Think of it like sound waves that go up and down really fast (those have smaller periods) as opposed to ones that take their time in transitioning from sound to sound (longer time to go from note to note so not as much movement).
