Question
these models show two different waves eli created in the spring toy. select the model of the wave with the greater amplitude.
Wave amplitude in a longitudinal spring wave refers to the maximum displacement of the coils from their resting position (the degree of compression/rarefaction). The top model has coils displaced farther outward (wider rarefactions) and compressed more tightly compared to the bottom model, meaning it has a greater amplitude.
