Question

directions: sort the following as a characteristic of wavelength, frequency or amplitude.
increases as the distances between two consecutive points on a wave increases
wavelength frequency amplitude

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wave properties

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive similar points (e.g., crests) on a wave. Frequency is the number of waves per unit time. Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the rest position.

Step2: Analyze the statement

The statement says "Increases as the distances between two consecutive points on a wave increases". Since wavelength is defined by the distance between consecutive points, this characteristic matches wavelength. Frequency is inversely related to wavelength (higher wavelength means lower frequency), and amplitude is about displacement, not distance between consecutive points.

Answer:

Wavelength
