Question

read the scenario and then use the drop - down menus to complete each sentence.
when a stretched string is vibrated up and down with a particular frequency, it causes a standing wave to be produced. an experiment is performed in which several different frequencies are used to produce corresponding standing waves with specific wavelengths.
the frequency is the variable and the wavelength is the variable.
the independent variable is usually placed on the axis and the dependent variable is placed on the

Explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled (here, frequency). The dependent variable changes in response to the independent variable (wavelength changes as frequency is varied). On a graph, the independent variable is typically on the x - axis and the dependent variable on the y - axis.

Answer:

The frequency is the independent variable and the wavelength is the dependent variable. The independent variable is usually placed on the x - axis and the dependent variable is placed on the y - axis.
