Problem

a. For sound wave A, a displacement–time recording shows successive compressions 2.0 ms2.0\,\text{ms} apart, and a distance graph shows their spatial separation as 0.66 m0.66\,\text{m}. Calculate the speed of wave A. b. For sound wave B, the time gap between compressions is 3.0 ms3.0\,\text{ms} while their spatial separation is 0.90 m0.90\,\text{m}. Calculate the speed of wave B. c. Which wave travels faster and by how much?
