Answer 1

When the student moves the jump rope up and down faster, the frequency of the wave will increase. Frequency refers to how many cycles of the wave occur in a given amount of time. As the motion is made faster, more wave cycles are produced in the same time frame.

So, the correct response is:

frequency
