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

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

• they replace the rope with a longer one.

• one moves the rope a shorter distance.

• one moves the other end of the rope.

• one moves the end of the rope more slowly.

• 2

• 3

When comparing two waves, the wave with the greatest wavelength is the one that has-

• greatest height

• greatest speed

• the most space between crests

• traveled the longest distance

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-

• moves the end of the rope more quickly.

• moves the rope a greater distance.

• move farther apart.

• they a replace the rope with a longer one.

• C & D

• B & C
