Two waves have the same speed but one has twice the frequency. Which wave has the longer wavelength? Explain.

2 waves are traveling in the same medium (they have the same wave speed): Wave 1 has twice the frequency of Wave 2. What do we know about their wavelengths? Wave 2 has double the wavelength of Wave 1 Wave 1 has double the wavelength of Wave 2 cannot be determined without knowing the wave speed Wave 2 has half the wavelength of Wave 1

00:01 The question that is given over here is that two waves on identical strings.
00:11 They have frequencies in the ratio.
00:17 The frequencies ratio is 2 is 2 1.
00:22 So if they weight speeds or the same given, the speed or same.
00:28 So what we have to do is we have to explain how do their wavelength be compared.
00:32 So it is given that the stream frequencies are in a ratio of 2 to 1.
00:37 So what we know is the frequency and the wavelength.
00:42 Frequency as well as the wavelength, they are inversely proportional to each other.
00:57 Why? because we know the formula for frequency.
00:59 It is f is equal to 1 divided by lambda...
