S3 Waves after 2.1

The waves are traveling at the same speed.

Which wave has the greater amplitude?

• Wave on the Left

• Wave on the Right

• Both amplitudes are the same

Which graph shows the wave with the highest amplitude, greatest frequency and shortest wavelength?

• Graph on the Left

• Graph on the Right

• Both waves have the same

Which statement is true about the two waves?

• Both waves have the same amplitude, but the bottom wave has greater energy because of a greater frequency.

• The top waves has greater energy because it has greater amplitude.

• Both waves have the same frequency, but the top wave has a greater amplitude.

Which graph shows shorter wavelengths?
