The image asks to rank three waves based on their wavelengths. The given waves are represented on a graph with the x-axis and y-axis. Each wave is marked with a number for identification:

- The blue wave is labeled as Wave 3.
- The yellow wave is labeled as Wave 2.
- The purple wave is labeled as Wave 1.

The graph illustrates how these three different waves vary over the same period.

Below the graph, there is a section for ranking the waves. Here's the correct ranking according to their wavelengths:

- Wave 1: Third greatest
- Wave 2: Greatest
- Wave 3: Second greatest

The figure shows three waves that are separately sent along a string that is stretched under a certain tension along an x-axis.

*(Insert image description: A graph with 3 distinct sinusoidal waves labeled 1, 2, and 3, in different colors. The horizontal axis is marked as x and the vertical axis as y.)*

In the following questions, you will need to rank the various waves. If multiple waves rank equally, use the same rank for each, then exclude the intermediate ranking (i.e., if objects A, B, and C must be ranked, and A and B must both be ranked first, the ranking would be A: Greatest, B: Greatest, C: Third greatest). If all waves rank equally, rank each as 'Greatest'.

**Explanation of Graph:**

The graph displays three sinusoidal waves, each represented by a different color, and they are plotted on the Cartesian plane with the x-axis indicating the position along the string and the y-axis representing the displacement. 

- Wave 1 is shown as a purple curve, which appears to have a lower amplitude compared to the others.
- Wave 2 is displayed as a yellow line, appearing to have a higher frequency but lower amplitude than wave 3.
- Wave 3 is drawn as a blue sinusoidal wave, having the highest amplitude among the three waves.

These characteristics (amplitude, frequency, and phase) will help in determining and ranking the various wave properties accordingly.
