Displacement distance graph of two sound waves A and B, travelling in a medium, are as shown in the diagram. Study the two sound waves and compare their wavelengths.

Open in App

Solution

From the diagram, we can say that the sound wave A has larger amplitude and thus larger energy as compared to sound wave B. But both the sound wave have same wavelength.
