Question

all three waves have the same wavelength but the bottom wave has a greater amplitude. choose the correct answer for each blank.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wave - property definitions

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.

Step2: Analyze the waves

By observing the given waves, we can see that the distance between consecutive crests (or troughs) is the same for all three waves, so they have the same wavelength. Also, the bottom wave has a larger maximum displacement from the equilibrium position compared to the other two, so it has a greater amplitude.

Answer:

The first blank: wavelength; the second blank: amplitude
