These waves are traveling at the same speed. which wave has the highest frequency?

Light or sound, one or the other idk

1500 m wave length speed

A

Explanation: The relation between velocity and frequency of the waves is:

f = v/λ

where f is frequency, v is the velocity and λ is the wavelenght.

So you can see that, if the 4 waves have the same velocity, then the one with the smallest wavelenght (because it is in the denominator) will have the highest frequency.

The one with the smallest frequency is the first one (you can see it) so the correct option will be A

A The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency the longer the lower, hope this helps, thanks.

A

Explanation:

FOR PLATO

Answer : Highest frequency = wave A

Explanation :

The number of vibrations per second is called the frequency of the wave and the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is called the wavelength of the wave.

The relation between the wavelength and the frequency is inverse i.e.

[tex]\nu=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]\nu\propto\dfrac{1}{\lambda}[/tex]

It is clear from the given figure that the wave (a) have least wavelength i.e the distance between two crests or troughs is least.

So, the wave (a) will have highest frequency.

Hence, the correct option is wave (a).    

THe answer is A

Explanation:

Wave of option A has the highest frequency.

Option A.

Frequency is defined as the total number of complete waves in an unit time. A complete wave consists of a complete cycle of the amplitudes of waves.

In all the figures, we see transverse waves. They have the mean position denoted by a straight line, and the waves do oscillate up and down to complete a full cycle. The most number of waves in a given time has the highest frequency. If we count the full number of waves in the particular given time, Wave A has 5.75 complete waves, wave B has 3.5 complete waves, wave C has 2 complete waves and the wave D has 2.75 complete waves. So the wave A has highest number of complete oscillations in a given time. So wave A has highest frequency.

A because they are the tightest
