The bottom wave has a greater
(1 point)
wavelength.
trough.
frequency.
• amplitude.

Answer 1

To accurately determine the correct term to complete the statement regarding the bottom wave, we would typically need a visual diagram that shows both the top and bottom waves and their characteristics. Since I don't have access to visual content, I can help you based on the common definitions:

1. **Wavelength** - the distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave.
2. **Trough** - the lowest point of a wave.
3. **Frequency** - the number of cycles of a wave that occur in a unit of time.
4. **Amplitude** - the height of the wave, typically measured from the rest position to the crest or trough.

Without the diagram, if you know which characteristic is greater in the bottom wave compared to the top wave, you can choose accordingly from the options given:

- If the distance between the waves is greater, use "wavelength."
- If the bottom wave dips lower, use "trough."
- If the wave oscillates more times per second, use "frequency."
- If the wave has higher peaks or lower troughs, use "amplitude."

Please indicate the observed differences in the waves, and I can help you confirm the correct answer.
