Wave Wavelength (meters) Frequency (hertz)
W 5 200
X 3 300
Based on the given information, which conclusion can be made?
(1 point)
A Wave X has a greater amplitude.
B Wave W has a greater amplitude.
C Wave W has a faster speed.
D Wave X has a faster speed.
The correct answer is D. Wave X has a faster speed.
Speed of a wave is given by the formula speed = frequency * wavelength.
For wave W: speed = 200 hertz * 5 meters = 1000 meters/second.
For wave X: speed = 300 hertz * 3 meters = 900 meters/second.
Since the speed of wave W is greater than the speed of wave X, it can be concluded that wave X has a faster speed.
