Question

wave properties review
directions: answer the question about amplitude.
the distance from the equilibrium to the crest of a wave is 3 meters. what is the amplitude of the wave?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Amplitude Definition

Amplitude is the distance from the equilibrium position to the crest (or trough) of a wave.

Step2: Apply the Definition

Given the distance from equilibrium to crest is 3 meters, by the definition of amplitude, this distance is the amplitude.

Answer:

3 meters
