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.
