Which of the following would effect the speed of a wave? A) the matter it travels through

B) The amplitude

C) the period

D) the frequency

Option D

The frequency

Explanation:

The speed of wave is depedant only on the wavelength and frequency of waves since it is given by s=fw where s is the speed, f is frequency and w is the wavelength. Since the options given has only one factor, that is frequency, hence option D is correct. In case we had wavelength could be among the options, both would be correct.
