You can tell a lot about a wave by looking at its parts.

The amplitude of a wave is the amount of energy carried by a wave. In a transverse wave, the amplitude is the height of the wave.

Wavelength is the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it. In a transverse wave, the wavelength is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second.

Waves were created on three identical ropes as seen in the image. Of the three waves shown, Wave 2 has the greatest ______________.

• frequency because there are more crests in the same length of rope than there are in the other waves.

• wavelength because the rope is moving up and down faster that the other ropes.

• frequency because it has more crests thatn the other ropes.

• frequency because it has a larger wavelength that the other ropes.

Assume the following graph shows 1 second of time. What is the frequency of the wave?
