Ramon is making waves in a tub of water by pushing a block up and down at one of the tub. He observes the properties of each of the waves. What can he say about the properties of the waves?

• Pushing harder on the block gives the waves more speed and they will have a longer wavelength.

• Pushing harder on the block gives the waves more speed, and they will have a higher frequency.

• Pushing harder on the block gives the waves more energy, and they will have a higher amplitude.

• Pushing harder on the block gives the waves more speed, and they will have a faster period.

How does the amplitude of a transverse wave compare to the the distance from the crest to the trough.

• It is double the distance from crest to trough.

• It is equal to the distance from crest to trough.

• It is the same as the wavelength.

• It is half the distance between the crest and trough.
