Answer:

speed = 100 m/s, frequency = 0.1 Hz, amplitude = 1 m

Explanation:

The speed (v) of a wave is equal to its wavelength (λ) times its frequency (f). Therefore, the wavelength is equal to the speed divided by the frequency. Notice that the amplitude has no affect on the wavelength.

v = λf

λ = v / f

Wave 1:

λ = (100 m/s) / (0.1 Hz) = 1000 m

Wave 2:

λ = (1000 m/s) / (100 Hz) = 10 m

Wave 3:

λ = (100 m/s) / (10 Hz) = 10 m

Wave 4:

λ = (100 m/s) / (1 Hz) = 100 m

The first wave has the greatest wavelength.
