The distance of a wave crest from its resting position is its:

A. Wavelength
B. Amplitude
C. Height

Asked by kashoe2489

Answer (2)

Assuming its "resting" is the place in the middle of the wave crest and trough, the distance between the crest and the middle line would be considered its amplitude. The height of a wave is the distance between the crest and the trough, and wavelength is the distance between two crests.

The distance of a wave crest from its resting position is called the amplitude. The correct answer to the question is B. Amplitude . This measurement indicates how far the wave rises above or dips below its equilibrium position and relates to the energy of the wave.
