Question

which correctly lists the following waves in order of highest to lowest frequency? 1,5,2,4,3; 5,1,2,4,3; 5,4,3,2,1; 1,2,3,4,5

Explanation:

Frequency of a wave is related to the number of cycles (oscillations) per unit length. A higher frequency means more cycles in the same span. Wave 5 has the most cycles (closest together, highest frequency), followed by 4, then 3, then 2, and wave 1 has the fewest cycles (lowest frequency). So the order from highest to lowest frequency is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Answer:

5, 4, 3, 2, 1
