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.
