In wave A, the wave goes a certain distance above and below the horizontal line and covers a certain distance along the horizontal line between two consecutive crests labeled lambda. In wave B, the distance above and below the horizontal line is nearly the same as in the first wave, but the distance along the horizontal line between two consecutive crests is much shorter than the first wave.
Compared to wave A, wave B has a _____.
