Question

wave 1
wave 2
suming the waves are traveling at the same speed, compare the waves.
greater for wave 1 greater for wave 2 equal for both waves
the amplitude is
the wavelength is
the frequency is

Explanation:

Step1: Amplitude

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the rest position. From the diagram, Wave 1 has a larger amplitude.

Step2: Wavelength

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. Wave 1 has a longer wavelength.

Step3: Frequency

Using the formula \(v = f\lambda\) (where \(v\) is speed, \(f\) is frequency, \(\lambda\) is wavelength). Since \(v\) is the same for both waves (\(v_1=v_2\)), \(f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\). A longer wavelength (\(\lambda_1>\lambda_2\)) means a lower frequency (\(f_1 < f_2\)), so Wave 2 has a greater frequency.

Answer:

The amplitude is greater for Wave 1.
The wavelength is greater for Wave 1.
The frequency is greater for Wave 2.
