I can’t see the picture you mentioned. Could you re-upload the image or describe the two waves (which has taller peaks, and how many cycles each makes across the same horizontal distance)?
How to tell:
- Amplitude = height of a crest (or depth of a trough) measured from the equilibrium (middle) line. Larger peak/trough = larger amplitude.
- Wavelength = distance between two successive crests (or troughs) or between identical points on adjacent cycles. If more cycles fit in the same horizontal length, that wave has a shorter wavelength.
If you give those two facts (which wave has taller peaks and whether Wave 1 or Wave 2 has more cycles across the same length), I’ll pick the correct statement.
