Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. <u><em>If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency</em></u> (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). <em><u>As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease</u></em>. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."

Answer:

14.36m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = v(m1 + m2)

68×17 + 76×12= v(68+76)

1156+912 = 144v

2068 = 144v

v = 2068/144

=14.36 m/s

Which statement is true for particles of the medium of an earth quake p wave
katen-ka-za [31]
I am pretty sure that the only statement which  is true for particles of the medium of an earthquake P-wave is being shown in the option : b)vibrate parallel to the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions. As you know,  it can be formed in two ways : from alternating compressions and rarefactions or primary wave. I bet you will agree with me.
