Frequency is the reciprocal of period, n=1Tn=\dfrac{1}{T}, so a SHORTER period corresponds to a HIGHER frequency. Wave A has TA=0.015T_A=0.015 s, giving nA=10.015≈66.7n_A=\dfrac{1}{0.015}\approx66.7 Hz. Wave B has TB=0.025T_B=0.025 s, giving nB=10.025=40n_B=\dfrac{1}{0.025}=40 Hz. Since nA>nBn_A>n_B, wave A has the grea …
