Question

the graphs below describe two waves. the waves are traveling at the same speed. select the graph of the wave with the greater frequency.

Explanation:

Frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles per unit length (or per unit time). For waves traveling at the same speed, a wave with a shorter wavelength (distance between two consecutive crests or troughs) has a higher frequency. Looking at the two graphs, the second graph has more cycles in the same length of the \(x -\) axis (position axis). So, the second graph represents the wave with a greater frequency.

Answer:

The second graph.
