Question

  1. how do you determine the amplitude of a transverse wave? (1 point)

multiply the wavelength by the frequency
measure from the rest position to a crest or a trough
measure the distance between successive crests
measure the distance between crest and trough

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The amplitude of a transverse wave is the maximum displacement from the rest position. Measuring from the rest position to a crest or a trough gives this maximum displacement. Multiplying wavelength by frequency gives wave - speed. Measuring the distance between successive crests is the wavelength. Measuring the distance between crest and trough is not the amplitude.

Answer:

measure from the rest position to a crest or a trough
