Sound waves of frequency 300 Hz have a wavelength relative to sound waves in the same medium of frequency 600 Hz that is
A) half as great.
B) the same.
C) twice as great.
D) four times as great.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength of sound waves is inversely proportional to their frequency. Therefore, if the frequency is doubled (from 300 Hz to 600 Hz), the wavelength is halved. Conversely, the wavelength of the 300 Hz waves is twice as great as that of the 600 Hz waves.
