Answer:

Rock Y

Explanation:

The rock that is older shall be determined based on the number of half lives it has witnessed. A half life is simply the amount of time required for a sample to decay to half of its original mass.

Rock X

From 100% uranium, it decays to 50% uranium.  This means it went through just one half life.

Rock Y

From 100% uranium to 25% uranium

100 --> 50 (first half life)

50 --> 25 (second half life)

This means it wen through 2 half lives.

Rock Y is older than Rock X

kherson [118]
Its d. Speed (v) and frequency(f) both stay the same.

<span>Because Amplitude does not affect wave frequency. When you put more energy into the wave (larger amplitude) it does not affect how often you repeat a cycle. 
</span>Also speed can be altered when the medium changes through which it travels.
