As you can see by the motion of the wave in the wave above, the wave is transverse, as the motion is perpendicular to the axis. To control the wave, you can adjust the period, and hence frequency by changing the value for period. A larger4 number means a smaller frequency. You can control the amplitude of the wave by changing the value for amplitude (larger # means larger amplitude).
