Two students hold two ends of a rope. Student 1 moves the other end of the rope up and down in at a constant rate while Student 2 holds one end still.

The students can increase the amplitude of the wave in the rope if -

• student 1 moves the end of the rope more quickly

• student 1 and student 2 move farther apart

• student 1 moves the rope a greater distance

• they replace the rope with a longer rope
