The image shows two students modeling a light wave by continuously moving the ends of the rope up and down.

How would the waves change if the students continued moving the ends of the rope up and down the same distance but moved the ends faster?

The wavelength would increase and the amplitude would decrease, but the frequency would be unchanged.

Explanation: Amplitude is the up/down distance (unchanged). Moving the ends faster raises the oscillation frequency; with wave speed fixed by the rope, λ = v/f so wavelength decreases.
