Question

Two electromagnetic waves, A and B, travel in space, A with a frequency double that of B. We can conclude that  

   

the speeds of the waves are the same, but the wavelength of A is double the wavelength of B.

   

the speeds of the waves are the same, and so are the wavelengths.

   

the wavelengths of the waves are the same, but the speed of A is double the wavelength of B.

   

the speeds of the waves are the same, but the wavelength of A is half the wavelength of B.

   

the wavelengths of the waves are the same, but the speed of A is half the wavelength of B.

   

both speed and wavelength are the same for both waves.

   

it is impossible to determine the speed and wavelengths without knoing the type of waves.
