Correct Question:

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

A. has a lower amplitude.

B. has a shorter wavelength.

C. has a longer wavelength.

D. has a greater amplitude.

Answer:

C. has a longer wavelength.

The basic equation of frequency and speed are

velocity = frequency x wavelength

When both waves' velocities are the same then

v1 = v2

f-1 x wavelenght-1 = f-2 x wavelenght-2

Now increasing frequency of wave X will increase the wavelength of wave Y for the equations to be equal.
