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? Wavelength, amplitude, crest, frequency
If the student moves the compressed coiled spring faster while keeping everything else the same, the frequency of the wave will increase. The wavelength, amplitude, and crest will remain unchanged as they are not affected by the speed at which the spring is moved up and down.
