Question

use the table to answer the question.
characteristics of waves w and x
the table shows information about two waves. based on the given information, which conclusion can be made?
(1 point)
○ wave x has a greater amplitude.
○ wave x has a faster speed.
○ wave w has a greater amplitude.
○ wave w has a faster speed.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wave speed formula

Wave speed $v = \lambda \times f$, where $\lambda$ = wavelength, $f$ = frequency.

Step2: Calculate speed of Wave W

Substitute $\lambda=5$, $f=200$:
$v_W = 5 \times 200 = 1000$ m/s

Step3: Calculate speed of Wave X

Substitute $\lambda=3$, $f=300$:
$v_X = 3 \times 300 = 900$ m/s

Step4: Analyze amplitude options

No amplitude data is provided, so amplitude conclusions are invalid.

Answer:

Wave W has a faster speed.
