What can you tell about the speed of two waves that have the same wavelength and frequency?
IF they're both mechanical waves or both electromagnetic waves, AND they'reboth moving through the same stuff, THEN they both have the same speed.
What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
What is similar between the sound wave and the light wave?
Both are ways to transport energy from point a, to point b. Both sound and light waves have a speed, wavelength and frequency. Both can be diffracted, reflected and refracted, as those are properties of waves.
Are progressive water waves or stationary water waves produced in a ripple tank?
Both types can be produced depending upon the way that the waves are created; their height and their frequency.
What is the wavelength of a 320 Hz sound?
Very simple formula: speed of the wave = frequency x wavelength This is applicable for both mechanical waves such as sound and electromagnetic waves such as visible light. In case of sound the speed at room temperature would be almost 340 m/s. Hence wavelength = 340/320 = (17/16) m
Do light waves have frequency or wavelength?
They have both.

Do Radio waves run microwave ovens?
Scientists group electromagnetic waves into categories according to their wavelength. Technically a radio wave has a longer wavelength then a microwave but that's the only fundamental difference. They are both electromagnetic waves.
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves similar?
they both have wavelenghth and have energy

But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
Which wave has greater speed radio waves or gamma waves?
They're both electromagnetic radiation, differing only in wavelength (frequency), so their speed is the same.
On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.
How are x-rays and earthquake waves similar?
They are both transverse waves, albeit having different wavelength and frequency. I think that velocity of the waves will also be different as x-rays travel at the speed of light.
What is the link between radio waves and visible light?
Both are electromagnetic waves travelling at a speed about 300,000 km in one second in free space or in air medium. But radio waves have longer wavelength compared to that of light waves.
What are the similarities between ripples in water and electromagnetic waves?
The basic similarities between light and sound include the idea that both move in waves. They have frequency, or wavelength (as they are inverses of each other). They also have speeds of propagation that vary according to the materials through which are propagating.
What is similar between the sound wave and the light wave?
Both are ways to transport energy from point a, to point b. Both sound and light waves have a speed, wavelength and frequency. Both can be diffracted, reflected and refracted, as those are properties of waves.
