frequency

Moving your hand faster produces more complete oscillations per second (higher frequency). The wave speed is set by the rope's tension and mass per length (not how fast you move), and amplitude depends on how far you move your hand. If wave speed stays the same, increased frequency would make the wavelength shorter.
