Progressive waves — practice question

The graph shows how the displacement of an electromagnetic wave at one point varies with time. The wave is moving through a vacuum. What are the amplitude and the wavelength of the wave?

  • Aamplitude $= 3.0$ (arbitrary units), wavelength $= 6000\,\text{m}$
  • Bamplitude $= 6.0$ (arbitrary units), wavelength $= 6000\,\text{m}$
  • Camplitude $= 3.0$ (arbitrary units), wavelength $= 7500\,\text{m}$
  • Damplitude $= 6.0$ (arbitrary units), wavelength $= 7500\,\text{m}$
