Progressive waves — practice question

The graph illustrates how the displacement of a particle in a progressive wave changes with time. Two readings, $x$ and $y$, are marked on the graph. What do $x$ and $y$ stand for?

  • A$x$: amplitude, $y$: period
  • B$x$: frequency, $y$: period
  • C$x$: amplitude, $y$: wavelength
  • D$x$: frequency, $y$: wavelength
