A vibrating string generates sound in the air. the speed of the sound in the air is less than the speed of the wave in the string. Which of the following is correct?

a) the frequency of the sound wave is smaller than the frequency of the wave of the string.

b) the wavelength is the same for the sound wave and the wave in the string.

c) the wavelength for the sound wave is longer than the wavelength in the string.

d) the frequency of the sound wave is larger than the frequency of the wave in the string.

e) the wavelength for the sound wave is shorter than the wavelength in the string.

I understand that it will be higher frequency—pleasure explain what the wavelength/wave speed will be. I put this part in bold so you can see. A siren sounds on a stationary ambulance. As compared to a stationary observer, an observer who is driving towards the ambulance at a constant speed would measure the sound wave produced by the siren to have: i. a higher frequency, shorter wavelength, and the same wave speed. ii. a higher frequency, shorter wavelength, and a...
