Identify the wavelength, frequency, and amplitude from the wave graph shown in the image.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the identification or explanation of the properties of a wave represented in the image, specifically wavelength, frequency, and amplitude, along with their measurements based on the graph provided.
Answer
Wavelength: distance between crests, Frequency: cycles per second, Amplitude: height from middle to crest/trough.
The wavelength is the distance between adjacent wave crests. The frequency is the number of cycles per second. The amplitude is the height from the middle to the crest/trough.
Answer for screen readers
The wavelength is the distance between adjacent wave crests. The frequency is the number of cycles per second. The amplitude is the height from the middle to the crest/trough.
More Information
Waves are characterized by their wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Wavelength is the spatial period of the wave; frequency is the number of occurrences of the wave per unit time; amplitude indicates the wave's displacement.
Tips
Ensure to accurately count complete cycles and measure distances precisely. Miscounting cycles or mismeasuring distances can lead to incorrect values.
