Question

multiple choice question
which of the waves shown in these images have the same amplitude?
○ waves 2 and 5
○ waves 1 and 2
○ waves 3 and 6
○ waves 4 and 6

Explanation:

Step1: Understand amplitude

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the rest position.

Step2: Analyze each wave

• Wave1: High amplitude.
• Wave2: Medium - high amplitude.
• Wave3: Low amplitude.
• Wave4: Very low amplitude.
• Wave5: High amplitude (same as Wave1 in terms of vertical displacement from rest).
• Wave6: Medium - high amplitude (same as Wave2 in terms of vertical displacement from rest).

Answer:

Waves 1 and 2
