Explanation:

Step1: Determine the amplitude

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the rest position. For Wave 1, the maximum displacement is \(10\) cm. For Wave 2, the maximum displacement is \(6\) cm. So, the amplitude is greater for Wave 1.

Step2: Determine the frequency

Frequency is related to the number of waves in a given space. Counting the number of wave - cycles in a fixed position range (say from \(x = 0\) to \(x=8\) cm). Wave 1 has more wave - cycles in the same position range compared to Wave 2. So, the frequency is greater for Wave 1.

Answer:

The amplitude is greater for Wave 1. The frequency is greater for Wave 1.
