When drawn on the coordinate plane with the x-axis as the baseline, a wave with a crest that is closer to the baseline has a smaller___
A. amplitude
B. wavelength
C. frequency
D. equilibrium
B. wavelength
The correct answer is A. amplitude.
Amplitude refers to the distance from the baseline (x-axis) to the crest or trough of a wave. A wave with a crest that is closer to the baseline has a smaller amplitude, as the distance from the baseline to the crest is smaller.
