The speed of light waves in air is greater than the speed of sound in air by about a factor of a million. Given a sound wave and a light wave of the same wavelength, both traveling through air, which statement about their frequencies is true?

a)  The frequency of the sound wave will be about a million times greater than that of the light wave.

b)  The frequency of the sound wave will be about a thousand times greater than that of the light wave.

c)  The frequency of the light wave will be about a thousand times greater than that of the sound wave.

d)  The frequency of the light wave will be about a million times greater than that of the sound wave.

e)  There is insufficient information to determine the relationship between the two frequencies.
