    For a larger pebble, the wavelength, amplitude and frequency of the water waves increases

    Explanation:

    A wave is a disturbance that travels from the place where it was created. Waves transfer energy from one place to another, but they do not actually transfer any mass. Light, sound, and water waves are common examples of waves. Sound and water waves are mechanical waves; that is, they require a material medium for propagation. The medium required may be a solid, a liquid, or a gas, and the speed of the wave depends on the material properties of the medium through which the wave travels.

    For water waves, the disturbance is in the surface of the water; an example of which is the disturbance created by a rock thrown into a pond. Water waves have characteristics common to all waves, such as amplitude, period, frequency, and energy.

    If you drop a pebble into the water, water waves are generated before the disturbance dies down. The amplitude, wavelength and frequency of the disturbance depends on the mass of the pebble used to create the disturbance. The greater the mass of the the pebble, the greater the amplitude, frequency and wavelength of the emerging water waves and the greater the disturbance created in the water body.
