Two sound waves, X and Y, travel through the same air.
The frequency of wave X is three times the frequency of wave Y.
Which statement is correct?
X has three times the wavelength and the same speed as Y
X has three times the speed and one third of the wavelength of Y
X has one third of the wavelength and the same speed as Y
X has the same wavelength and three times the speed of Y
