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
