(a) If the tension of the two waves is the same, the wave with higher frequency will be the wave with smaller mass per unit length.

(b) The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave.

Relationship between tension and frequency

The frequency of a wave in string is given as;

f ∝√T/μ

where;

  • f is frequency of the wave
  • T is tension in the string
  • μ is mass per unit length of the string

Thus, if the tension of the two waves is the same, the wave with higher frequency will be the wave with smaller mass per unit length.

Relationship between wavelength and frequency

The relationship of wavelength and frequency is given by the following formula;

f = v/λ

where;

  • f is frequency of sound wave
  • v is speed of the sound wave
  • λ is wavelength of the sound wave

Thus, the frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave.
