displacement (cm)
time (s)
a
b
select one
which wave has the greater amplitude?
wave b has the greater amplitude
wave a has the greater amplitude
they both have the same amplitude

Explanation:

Step1: Recall amplitude definition

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.

Step2: Compare wave A and B amplitudes

Visually, wave A has a larger maximum - displacement from the equilibrium position.

Answer:

Wave A has the greater amplitude
