To determine the relationship between two waves labeled A and B, we need to analyze their wavelength and frequency.

  • If wave B has a longer wavelength, it means that its frequency must be lower (since wavelength and frequency are inversely related).
  • Conversely, if wave B has a shorter wavelength, it would imply that its frequency is greater.

Since we don’t have specific information about the characteristics of waves A and B, I can’t provide a definitive answer as to which of the options is correct without additional context. However, keeping in mind the properties of waves:

  • If wave B has a longer wavelength compared to wave A, it will have a lower frequency.
  • If wave B has a shorter wavelength compared to wave A, it will have a higher frequency.

If you can provide additional details about waves A and B, I can give you a more accurate answer. Otherwise, based on common relationships in waves, if your context is that wave B is longer in wavelength than A, the correct choice is:

longer wavelength and lower frequency.
