Question

This chart shows characteristics of three different waves, all with the same wavelength of 10 m but moving at different Which statement is best supported by the information in the chart?

A 3-column table with 2 rows titled Waves at Different Frequencies. The first column has entries Wave X and 6 hertz. The second column has entries Wave Y and 0.5 hertz. The third column has entries Wave Z and 2 hertz.
Wave Y is moving the fastest.

Wave X is moving the fastest.

All of the waves are moving at the same speed.

All of the waves have the same value of wavelengths per second.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wave X is moving the fastest.

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as the product of frequency and wavelength

so here we will have

$\lambda = 10 m$

now for wave X

$f = 6 Hz$

now the speed of this wave is

$v_x = 10 \times 6 = 60 m/s$

now for wave Y

$f = 0.5 Hz$

now the speed of this wave is

$v_y = 10 \times 0.5 = 5 m/s$

now for wave Z

$f = 2 Hz$

now the speed of this wave is

$v_z = 10 \times 2 = 20 m/s$

So correct answer will be

Wave X is moving the fastest.

Answer 2

Answer:

Wave X is moving the fastest.
