Interpretation:
The waves having the greatest frequency, the greatest wavelength and the greatest amplitude should be described using the relation between speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave.
Concept Introduction:
A wave is a disturbance or variation that travels through a medium transporting energy without transporting matter. The wavelength is the distance between identical points on successive waves. The frequency is the number of waves that pass through any particular point in 1 second.
Figure1
The speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave are related by the equation:
To Describe: The waves having the greatest frequency, the greatest wavelength and the greatest amplitude
