Answer:
shorter wavelength = alpha wave
Explanation:
Given that,
The alpha wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and the beta wave has a frequency of 2 Hz.
We need to compare the wavelengths of these two waves.
For alpha wave,
[tex]\lambda_1=\dfrac{c}{f_1}\\\\\lambda_1=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{5}\\\\=6\times 10^7\ m[/tex]
For beta wave,
[tex]\lambda_2=\dfrac{c}{f_2}\\\\\lambda_2=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2}\\\\=15\times 10^7\ m[/tex]
From the above calculations, we find that the wavelength of the alpha wave is shorter than the wavelength of the beta wave.
