To determine which conclusion can be made based on the provided table, we can analyze the given information.
The speed of a wave can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Speed} = \text{Wavelength} \times \text{Frequency} \]
Let's calculate the speed for both waves:
-
For Wave W:
- Wavelength = 5 meters
- Frequency = 200 hertz
- Speed \( = 5 , \text{m} \times 200 , \text{Hz} = 1000 , \text{m/s} \)
-
For Wave X:
- Wavelength = 3 meters
- Frequency = 300 hertz
- Speed \( = 3 , \text{m} \times 300 , \text{Hz} = 900 , \text{m/s} \)
Now, we can conclude:
- Wave W has a speed of 1000 m/s.
- Wave X has a speed of 900 m/s.
From this calculation, we can see that Wave W has a faster speed than Wave X.
Hence, the correct conclusion based on the information in the table is:
Wave W has a faster speed.
