Two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. If wave X has a greater frequency than wave Y
1 answer:
Answer:
Wave X has a shorter wavelength.
Explanation:
The relation between the speed of a wave, its wavelength and frequency is given by :
It can be seen that the relationship between the frequency and wavelength is inverse.
In this problem, it is mentioned that two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. The frequency of wave X is greater than wave Y. Then it would mean that wave X have shorter wavelength than wave Y (due to inverse relation).

Answer:
Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²
Vertical motion of James : -
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = g
Displacement, s = h
Substituting,
s = ut + 0.5 at²
h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²
Vertical motion of John : -
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = g
Displacement, s = h
Substituting,
s = ut + 0.5 at²
h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²
So both times are same.
Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
