To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the different components of a wave and their relationship to the coordinates on a graph.
In this case, we are given that the wave has a crest that is closer to the baseline (x-axis) on a coordinate plane. Let's examine the options to determine which one is affected by this change:
A. Equilibrium: Equilibrium refers to the rest position or the baseline of the wave. The position of the crest does not affect the equilibrium, so this is not the correct answer.
B. Frequency: Frequency refers to the number of complete cycles or oscillations of a wave that occur in a unit of time. The position of the crest does not affect the frequency, so this is not the correct answer.
C. Amplitude: Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or height of a wave from the equilibrium position. When the crest is closer to the baseline, it means the amplitude is smaller. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
D. Wavelength: Wavelength refers to the distance between two corresponding points on a wave, usually measured from crest to crest or trough to trough. The position of the crest does not affect the wavelength, so this is not the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Amplitude.
