    A light wave and a sound wave have same frequency f and their wavelengths are respectively \[{{\lambda }_{I}}\] and \[{{\lambda }_{S}}\]then:

    A)  \[{{\lambda }_{L}}={{\lambda }_{S}}\]                                  

    B)  \[{{\lambda }_{L}}>{{\lambda }_{S}}\]

    C)  \[{{\lambda }_{L}}<{{\lambda }_{S}}\]                                  

    D)   \[{{\lambda }_{L}}<2{{\lambda }_{S}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Frequency of light wave \[=f\] Frequency of sound wave\[=f\] \[\therefore \] Wavelength of light waves \[{{\lambda }_{I}},=c/f\]                                         ?(i) where c = velocity of light and wavelength of sound waves \[{{\lambda }_{S}}=v/f\] v= velocity of sound \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{L}}}{{{\lambda }_{S}}}=\frac{c/f}{v/f}=\frac{c}{v}\] but         \[c>>>v\Rightarrow \frac{c}{v}>>>1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{L}}}{{{\lambda }_{S}}}>>1\Rightarrow {{\lambda }_{L}}>>{{\lambda }_{S}}\]
