@bot A student moves the end of a compressed coiled spring up and down to demonstrate wave motion. She then moves the compressed coiled spring faster but keeps everything else the same. Which characteristic will increase?(1 point)

Responses

The frequency of the wave will increase.

When the student moves the compressed coiled spring faster while keeping everything else the same, the characteristic that will increase is the frequency of the wave. The frequency refers to the number of complete wave cycles passing a given point in a unit of time and is usually measured in hertz (Hz).
