To provide an accurate answer, I would need more context or a visual representation of the waves you’re referring to. However, I can explain the terms to help you choose the correct response based on the characteristics of waves:
- Crest: The highest point of a wave.
- Frequency: The number of waves that pass a point in a second.
- Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs).
- Amplitude: The height of the wave from the resting position to the crest (or trough).
Based on the appropriate definitions:
- If Wave A has a higher peak than Wave B, the answer would be A (higher crest).
- If Wave A completes more cycles in a given time than Wave B, the answer would be B (higher frequency).
- If Wave A has longer distances between crests than Wave B, the answer would be C (longer wavelength).
- If the height from the resting position to the crest of Wave A is greater than that of Wave B, the answer would be D (greater amplitude).
Please refer to the specific visual representations of Wave A and Wave B to determine which characteristic is true for Wave A.
