To fill in the blank correctly, we need to compare the characteristics of wave A and wave B based on their wavelength and frequency.
If wave B has a shorter wavelength, that typically means it has a higher frequency, as wavelength and frequency are inversely related (the speed of a wave is equal to the frequency times the wavelength).
Conversely, if wave B has a longer wavelength, it would generally indicate a lower frequency.
Based on the options provided and assuming wave B has a shorter wavelength compared to wave A, the appropriate response would be:
Wave B has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to wave A.
However, based on your provided responses, if we use the only available option that matches the criteria:
- shorter wavelength and lower frequency
- shorter wavelength and lower frequency
- longer wavelength and lower frequency
- longer wavelength and lower frequency
- shorter wavelength and greater frequency
The correct and most matching would logically be shorter wavelength and greater frequency but since it doesn’t exactly fit and assuming that one is a mistake, the next best fit could be shorter wavelength and lower frequency if other variables are unaccounted.
So the final answer should logically be:
shorter wavelength and greater frequency (if it were an option). But based on standard principles of wave relationships, it’s essential to check the context of wave A and wave B. Please confirm if this aligns with your intentions.
