HELP ASAP!!!

A wave with a low frequency generally has a _____.
A. low amplitude
B. high amplitude
C. long wavelength
D. short wavelength


A wave with a high frequency generally has a _____.
A. low amplitude
B. high amplitude
C. long wavelength
D. short wavelength

If you are out rowing in a boat, you should be most concerned if you see a wave with which characteristic?
A. low frequency
B. high frequency
C. large amplitude
D. small amplitude

Answer 1

1. C. "Long frequency."

2. D. "Short frequency."

3. B. "High frequency."

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength and vice versa. The lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength. Therefore, if you're out rowing a boat and a wave has a very high frequency, it could be potentially dangerous.
