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 frequency frequency wavelength wavelength crest crest amp
The correct answer is frequency.
Frequency refers to the number of complete waves passing a certain point in a given amount of time. By moving the compressed coiled spring faster, the student is increasing the frequency of the wave motion.
