Explanation:

Step1: Determine the amplitude

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the rest position. For Wave 1, the maximum displacement (amplitude) is \( 7\) cm. For Wave 2, the maximum displacement (amplitude) is \( 8\) cm. So, the amplitude is greater for Wave 2.

Step2: Determine the frequency

Frequency is the number of complete waves in a given distance. In a fixed position range (e.g., from \(x = - 10\) to \(x = 10\) cm), Wave 1 has more complete waves (higher number of oscillations) than Wave 2. So, the frequency is greater for Wave 1.

Answer:

Amplitude: greater for Wave 2; Frequency: greater for Wave 1.
