Waves Quiz

How do these waves differ from one another?

• They have different amplitudes

• They have different frequencies.

• They have different wavelengths.

• They have different amplitudes, frequencies, and wavelengths.

Students in a lab form a wave by moving one end of a rope up and down, while the other end is attached to a fixed point.

How will the characteristics of the wave change if they move the rope end up and down a greater distance but do not change the time between wave crests?

• 
  Frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and amplitude increases.

• Frequency decreases, wavelength increases, and amplitude does not change.

• Frequency and wavelength do not change, and amplitude increases.

• Frequency and amplitude increase, and wavelength does not change.
