A loud sound travels faster than a quiet sound.
A loud sound travels faster than a quiet sound.

As the wavelength increases, the frequency also increases.
As the wavelength increases, the frequency also increases.

The frequency of a sound does not affect the speed at which it travels.
The frequency of a sound does not affect the speed at which it travels.

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

Answer 1

A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength. (This statement is incorrect. The speed of sound in air is dependent on factors such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure, and is not directly related to wavelength.)
