Question

consider the diagram below in order to answer questions #1-2.

1. the wavelength of the wave in the diagram above is given by letter

a
b
c
d

1. the amplitude of the wave in the diagram above is given by letter

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Question 1

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive identical points (e.g., two crests or two troughs) on a wave. In the diagram, letter A represents the distance between two crests, so it is the wavelength.

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its rest position. In the diagram, letter B represents the distance from the rest position to a crest, so it is the amplitude.

Answer:

A. A
