which letter shows the wave length of a transverse wave?
y shows the wave length of a transverse wave
x shows the wave length of a transverse wave
q shows the wave length of a transverse wave

Explanation:

In a transverse wave, the wavelength is the horizontal distance between two consecutive points that are in - phase (e.g., two consecutive crests or troughs). Point Y represents this horizontal distance. Point X is the amplitude (the maximum displacement from the rest position), and point Q is a crest (a point of maximum positive displacement).

Answer:

Y shows the wave length of a transverse wave
