Answer 1

To determine which wave measure is changing by the greatest amount in an image, you would need to observe the specific characteristics of the waves depicted. Without the visual reference of the image, it's challenging to provide a definitive answer.

Here's a brief description of each measure:

- **Speed**: This refers to how fast the wave is traveling. It doesn’t usually change unless the wave moves through different media.

- **Amplitude**: This is the height of the wave, representing the energy of the wave. Changes in amplitude can indicate varying energy levels.

- **Frequency**: This is how many wave cycles occur in a given time period. It can change with the motion of the wave source (Doppler effect).

- **Wavelength**: This is the distance between successive crests (or troughs) of the wave. Like frequency, it can be affected by the motion of the wave source.

If you can provide a description of the image or any visible changes in the wave's characteristics, I could help you deduce which parameter is changing the most.
