Question

wave properties review directions: sort the following as a characteristic of wavelength, frequency or amplitude. the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough wavelength frequency amplitude

Explanation:

To determine the correct category, we recall the definitions of wave properties:

• Wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests (or two consecutive troughs) of a wave.
• Frequency refers to the number of waves passing a point per unit time.
• Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its rest position (related to the height of the wave).

The given description, "The distance from crest to crest or trough to trough," matches the definition of wavelength.

Answer:

Wavelength
