To compare Wave A (black) to Wave B (green) using the responses provided, we need to focus on the different characteristics of waves, which include crest height (amplitude), frequency, and wavelength.
-
Crest Height: Refers to the maximum displacement of the wave from the rest position, commonly known as amplitude.
-
Frequency: Refers to how many cycles occur in a given amount of time.
-
Wavelength: Refers to the distance between successive crests (or troughs) of a wave.
Based on your options:
-
A. higher crest: This would indicate that Wave A has greater amplitude than Wave B.
-
B. higher frequency: This would indicate the number of cycles per second is greater for Wave A than Wave B.
-
C. longer wavelength: This would suggest that the distance between crests of Wave A is greater than that of Wave B.
-
D. greater amplitude: This would mean Wave A has a larger maximum displacement compared to Wave B.
To choose the correct response, you would need to look at the waves visually or use specified details to determine which characteristics Wave A has compared to Wave B. Without that information, I cannot definitively answer which option is correct.
