Question 8 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701

Sound wave 1 has a shorter wavelength than sound wave 2, but both waves have the same amplitude. What does this mean?

Answer
A
Sound wave 1 has a lower frequency.
B
Sound wave 1 has a higher frequency.
C
Sound wave 1 is louder.
D
Sound wave 1 is quieter.

Explanation

In the same medium, sound waves travel at about the same speed, and wave speed equals frequency multiplied by wavelength. So a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency. Equal amplitudes mean the waves have the same loudness, so sound wave 1 has a higher frequency, not a different loudness.
