Question

the graphs below represent two waves. the waves are traveling at the same speed through the same medium. compare the waves.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze amplitude

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. In Wave 1, the maximum displacement (amplitude) is larger than that in Wave 2.

Step2: Analyze frequency

Frequency is related to the number of waves in a given space. Wave 1 has more waves (cycles) in the same position range, so its frequency is higher.

Answer:

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