The diagram below shows a model of four waves.

An image of four waves labeled A, B, C, D is shown. Wave A has the smallest distance from crest to crest across the length of the wave. Wave D has the largest distance from crest to crest across the length of the wave. Wave B has a larger distance from crest to crest than Wave A but not as far apart as Wave C. Wave C has a larger distance from crest to crest than Wave B but not as far apart as Wave D.
