Draw two waves. One with high amplitude and one with low amplitude. Label which is high amplitude vs low amplitude. (keep everything else about the waves the same)
Question 7

Use the waves diagrams shown above: Which of these waves has a greater wavelength?
A
B
They have the same wavelength
There is no way to determine this
Does amplitude affect wave speed?
Yes
No
Does amplitude affect the frequency of a wave?
Yes
No
Does amplitude affect the wavelength of a wave?
Yes
No
Does tension affect the wave speed of a wave?
Yes
No
How does frequency seem to affect wavelength?
Higher frequency seems to make wavelength longer
Higher frequency seems to make wavelength shorter
Frequency does not seem to affect the wavelength
How does frequency seem to affect wave speed?
Higher frequency seems to make wave speed faster
Higher frequency seems to make wave speed slower
Frequency does not seem to affect the wave speed
How does frequency seem to affect wave period?
Higher frequency seems to make wave period longer
Higher frequency seems to make wave period shorter
