A rope is stretched out before you; one end is in your hand and the other is attached to the wall 4 meters ahead. You are moving the rope up and down creating a transverse wave along the length of the rope. [For those who have been to an equipped gym, think "battle ropes"] You are creating a harmonic. The questions are all in comparison to the speed, frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and harmonic you are initially producing. (If there are multiple correct answers for each question, you need provide only one.) Assuming you have the power to change any physical aspect of the rope as well as the ability to change how you move/interact with the rope, how can you
(a) Increase the speed of the wave in the rope?
(b) Increase the frequency of the wave?
(c) Increase the wavelength of the wave?
(d) Increase the amplitude of the wave?
(e) Increase the harmonic? (For example, from the 23i3 harmonic to the 33x23 harmonic)
