Use the table to answer the question. Wave Wavelength (meters) Frequency (hertz) W 5 200 X 3 300 The table shows information about two waves. Based on the given information, which conclusion can be made? (1 point) Responses Wave W has a faster speed. Wave W has a faster speed. Wave W has a greater amplitude. Wave W has a greater amplitude. Wave X has a faster speed. Wave X has a faster speed. Wave X has a greater amplitude.

Answer 1

To determine which wave has a faster speed, we can use the formula for wave speed:

\[ \text{Speed} = \text{Wavelength} \times \text{Frequency} \]

Let's calculate the speed for both waves:

1. Wave W:

   • Wavelength = 5 meters
   • Frequency = 200 hertz

   \[ \text{Speed of Wave W} = 5 , \text{m} \times 200 , \text{Hz} = 1000 , \text{m/s} \]

2. Wave X:

   • Wavelength = 3 meters
   • Frequency = 300 hertz

   \[ \text{Speed of Wave X} = 3 , \text{m} \times 300 , \text{Hz} = 900 , \text{m/s} \]

Now that we have the speeds:

• Wave W has a speed of 1000 m/s.
• Wave X has a speed of 900 m/s.

Based on this calculation, we can conclude that Wave W has a faster speed.

Therefore, the correct response is: Wave W has a faster speed.
