On top a coiled spring labeled wave a with coils, which are widely spaced then tightly spaced then widely space. on bottom a coiled spring labeled wave b with coils, which are widely spaced then very tightly spaced then widely space. which statement can be made about waves a and b? wave a has a lower amplitude than wave b. wave a has a higher amplitude than wave b. wave a has a lower frequency than wave b. wave a has a higher frequency than wave b.

Answer:

Wave A has a lower frequency than Wave B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency is the number of waves passing through the unit time.

As the statement of the question says that the coils in wave A are widely and tightly spaced.

While in wave B the coils are widely and very tightly spaced which means the number of coils is more and the frequency of wave B is more than wave A.

Therefore more coils will pass through a fixed point in unite time and more will be the frequency.
