Question
the graphs below represent two waves. the waves are traveling at the same speed through the same medium. compare the waves.
Step1: Define amplitude
Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. For Wave 1, the maximum displacement is 2 cm. For Wave 2, the maximum displacement is also 2 cm.
Step2: Define frequency
Frequency is the number of complete - cycles per unit length. In the given x - range, Wave 1 has 2 complete cycles and Wave 2 has 2 complete cycles.
