Question

question #4
the two waves in the diagram above are traveling at the same speed. which statement best describes the difference between the top wave and the bottom wave?
the top wave has a shorter wavelength than the bottom wave.
saved the top wave has a higher amplitude than the bottom wave.
the top wave has a lower frequency than the bottom wave.
the top wave has a longer wavelength than the bottom wave.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the rest - position. Frequency is the number of waves passing a point per unit time. By observing the diagram, the top wave has more cycles in the same space (shorter distance between consecutive crests/troughs) compared to the bottom wave, so it has a shorter wavelength.

Answer:

The top wave has a shorter wavelength than the bottom wave.
