Question

in which type of wave can amplitude be measured as the maximum distance particles move from their resting positions when the medium is compressed by the wave? enter the answer check it

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. When the medium is compressed (in a compression region), the amplitude can be measured as the maximum distance particles move from their resting positions. Longitudinal waves include sound waves, for example, where compressions and rarefactions occur.

Answer:

Longitudinal wave
