In the deep ocean, a longer-wavelength wave travels faster than a shorter-wavelength wave. Thus, a higher-frequency wave travels a lower-frequency wave.

A. Faster than B. At the same speed as C. Slower than Water waves are called deep-water waves when the depth of the water is much greater than the wavelength of the wave. The speed of deep-water waves depends on the wavelength as follows:

Suppose you are on a ship at rest in the ocean, observing the crests of a passing sinusoidal wave. You estimate that the crests are \(75 \mathrm{~m}\) apart.
